    It seems more likely that they are trying to compete with Amazon in the government contract sphere, which is very lucrative in general.

      Probably yeah - in high corporate sense. Googlers however still think Google is different. Sundar Pichai thinks Google is different. The amount of self delusion is quite incredible when in reality it’s just another giant souless corporation with self interest.

      They are trying to grab any business. I work with many companies and I’ve yet to see any actively using gcp. I know a few planning to move data there but Google is throwing a ton of resources at them.

      Azure and Aws are where most are located.
