Google is an advertising company. They're planning an exit in a non-core market. It shouldn't be a surprise. The weight of "traditional google" has held zero value to me in measuring their cloud product.

Google's cloud products are built around the needs of advertisers. A large and slow backend that's meant to churn ungodly amounts of data.

Amazon is a retail company their cloud products are build around this need. They have a highly segmented and mostly nimble backend that's mean to build unwieldy amounts of API.
