It's a mistake to just compare Google with AWS, thinking in terms of basic storage and computing. That's boring and obviously there are tons of alternatives, including Snap Inc. building it themselves, for the amount of money cited.
When it comes to cutting edge AI and related, Google's offerings clearly stand out among other cloud services.
- vmarsy 10y agoHow is it different from Azure ML and Microsoft Cognitive services?
- theduffd 10y agoI'm guessing it's their incredible amount of user data to drive that ML and AI.
- mnutt 10y agoAre these sorts of things latency-sensitive enough that they couldn't use them with EC2 and similar? Or are the bandwidth needs so large that bandwidth charges cancel out any compute savings?
- eanzenberg 10y agoAre they charging per single prediction like amazon? If so then it's almost a non-starter unless ML is the product.
