GCP is very powerful distributed platform to share the files or store the file. We can easily store and share the file to other with privacy which one has access of the bucket. It is much easier while cluster job execution.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Google Cloud Platform

VP, IT Infrastructure

I am curious if anyone has recommendations for an objective third party to provide an external evaluation of GCP environments from a Fin Ops/Cost Optimization perspective. Many suppliers in the space selling reporting toolsets or serving as VARs but am interested in finding an independent third party.

Director of IT

I have conducted my own investigation and analysis using native cloud platform tooling, applying the Technology Business Management (TBM) taxonomy, and LeanIX, to help understand cloud costs. Apptio is another product I was looking at as well to help improve cloud costs. Apptio is easily integrated with LeanIX. https://www.apptio.com/products/ibm-apptio/ https://www.leanix.net/en/enterprise-architecture/integrations#apptio Cloudability is AppTio’s FinOps certified platform to enable cloud cost optimization efforts: https://www.apptio.com/products/cloudability/ My opinion is that I don’t trust independent third-party’s (consultants) to take an unbiased approach nor even have an effective diligent approach. I have had average to poor experiences with third-party’s that management in my previous organization brought in to conduct an investigation. Given good tooling and a decent budget I think you are better off creating your own cloud centre of excellence that follows best practices for workload cost management and optimization. Lastly, I read the recent post from Curt Hodge on that question, he is recommending PointFive. I had a look at PointFive’s website information and I would agree with Curt’s recommendation to take a closer look at the PointFive solution https://www.pointfive.co/ however at first glance they seem to be AWS focused and there is no mention of GCP integration.

VP of Product Management

We have a Vertex AI environment and we plan to apportion the consumption costs use case wise that are on onboarded on to a project. Currently Google Cloud provides option to extract data for billing at Project level only and we can get details below project level. Hence trying to check if there is a option/configurations to be made to assign costs at use case wise that are onboarded with in a project.

-Useful Suite of Tools: One of the best parts about Google Drive is that it integrates directly with other Google apps such as Google Sheets and Google Docs. These are probably the most commonly used apps within the Google suite and it fits perfectly well within your google drive workflow. Not only that if you download the desktop client for Mac or Windows you are able to download and sync all the files that are on your google drive account. This allows you to easily open the Google Sheets and Google Docs files like they were native files on your desktop system. Once you click on a google sheets or Google docs file, it will open up a browser and take you right to that file within your browser. Google Docs Add-ons: This is extremely convenient and much better workflow than any other competitor, even though Dropbox came out with their own word document editor recently. The Google Docs workflow is better than any other competitor as of yet. And beyond that, there is a huge amount of Google Docs add-ons that you can add other companies will make certain extensions that you can expand the functionality of Google Docs and Google Sheets
