The Fat Pipe - All of the Packet Pushers Podcasts

Today on Day Two Cloud we peel back the curtains on Google Cloud Platform, or GCP. Our guest is Richard Seroter, Director of Outbound Product Management at Google Cloud. Prior to working for Google, Richard was an Azure and Microsoft MVP, a PluralSight instructor, developer, and sales engineer, so he brings a wide spectrum of experience to the conversation. This is not a sponsored episode.
We discuss:

* Why Richard decided to move to Google
* Concerns about Google’s habit of killing projects and how GCP isn’t Google
* How GCP differentiates from other big public clouds
* GCP’s embrace of multi-cloud as a competitive differentiator
* More
