i really hate the concept of "projects" in google cloud, makes managing the billing a real pain in the rear end

azure gets this right with resource groups at least

the aws dashboard is abysmal outside of maybe route 53. the azure portal is also bad but in different ways.

Everything related to NAT or VPNs is a dumb mess and even AWS support cant explain why things don't work when configured the way they're supposed to. their suggestion is to not use VPC and setup an EC2 instance to handle routing.

if we had something as simple as that then maybe, but we do work with external clients so VPNs are the only real way to do that kind of connectivity.

the other thing that drives me nuts is how you cant resize outside the current family or reconfigure vms in aws without destroying the vm and attaching the disk to a new one.

It came about because we really started designing from the inside out, John Igoe of Google told KPIX 5. We wanted to find out how we could get a space to be very, very flexible and that wouldnt have a lot of walls and the typical type of restrictions you have.

The housing is to be built in north bayshore from what I understand, this is a part of that project closer to the existing campus.

By way of context the Mountain View city council got taken over by pro-housing politics about 4 years ago and have been on a building spree, and I believe cancelled the previous council's approval of Google's office project because it didn't have enough housing.
