Which is preferred for retail and why?
51% kubernetes workloads are running on AWS. Check how airbnb uber're running k8s on AWS.
Right... Running it themselves, not using the hosted solution.
And now AWS and Azure both have a managed k8s solution.
Why doesn't GKE gain traction? It must have some sorts of shortcoming.
Gcloud but that's for different reasons that you think - Amazon is on direct competition with retail companies
Amazon does retails has nothing to do with e-commerce customers on AWS. It wants people to use AWS and that’s it. Not everything has a nice conspiracy theory to it.
@OMwD10 It (Amazon) might want retail companies to use AWS. But that doesn't mean retail companies WILL use it right. There is a conspiracy theory or not, I've seen top retail company don't want to take chance with AWS. If I see amazon as a bread stealer, I don't want to trust it even in non competing area (cloud)....might be a wrong perspective to Amazon people. But that's how I've seen multiple retail companies see Amazon.
AWS because it has almost every solution built-in. Most medium complexity to advanced use cases can be production-ized within a few days using easy to consume wrappers and self managing infra underneath. The cost of running your services is low and production support is by far the most superior. However, if you do not see yourself using a whole lot of integrated cloud services in the future and do not mind managing some of your infrastructure by yourself, you can consider alternatives. Disclaimer: I work for Amazon AWS.
Azure
For retail? GCS. Why the hell would you give money to a competitor?
if you are an amateur user (few IT experience), go with LightSail, DigitalOcean or Vultr. GCE or AWS is an overkill IMHO.
Customer service, competitive pricing, and flexibility with million choices to build business stack.
No one should ever use Cloud Providers. It's an expensive joke.
Same as computers. No one should ever use computers over typewriters, it's an expensive joke
Haha you're so funny. Except computers provide a bunch of functionality over typewriters while the cloud is just a bunch of servers that you could have bought and hosted yourself and ended up spending way less without being at the mercy of some vendor's pricing strategy. Amazon's insane profit margins on this service is truly a testament to what a rip off it is. It's an expensive crutch for shitty start-ups who hire careless engineers to work on half-baked ideas while burning VC funding on infrastructure for a few years before failing due to never turning a profit. In just about every field companies that have the best tech are always on-prem because they get full control of their infrastructure while minimizing costs.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Google Cloud, because everyone should be doing Kubernetes for web services and they're the only ones that do Kubernetes correctly
I’m pretty sure most of G’s own web services are not on Kubernetes.
@batou you're right; they're on BORG, the internal orchestration platform that Kubernetes is based on.
