Remember when they said GCP is exempt from their random product killing?

In practice it is actually super easy if you align yourself with say Cloud Run or something like that.

It’s also worth pointing out that despite the killed by Google meme, at least in the cloud side of the business they are actually super clear about what will never be on the chopping block and you can rely on so it’s not actually all that surprising or hard to work around in practice.
