  2. cheaper cloud filestore with low performance

    Cloud Filestore is a mountable NFS with good performance. It has two tiers, currently $0.30/GB/mo for super fast and $0.20/GB/mo for fast. Our use case is 100TB of 500k-10MB files that gets randomly accessed, but has a very low speed and IOPS requirement; we are paying a mere $0.04/GB/mo to host this on an old NetApp filer at Rackspace, we don't care about the speed just that it works and has reasonable access latency. It would be nice if Google had a slower tier of NFS that was cheaper and let people with large file repositories (that for whatever reason…

  3. Alternative to credit card for USING GCP

    Hey I'm a student and relatively new to cloud and as a student I CAN NOT afford a credit card and it's not easy to get credit card in my country when you are still a student.
    I understand GCP can't accept debit cards due to VBV or requiring OTP for payment which conflicts with auto pay but that should not be the reason to kick out user as a whole from the service if they can't verify with a credit card?

    What if GCP instead allowed user to verify using debit cards and let the user buy a subscription…

  4. The text is unreadable, font is too small and grey

    The font is small and the color is too grey.

    What's wrong with simple black?

    Side left menu that you cannot pin.

    Too many clicks for one single operation, for example, main menu > compute engine > VM instance

  5. Add option for natural sort in tables (or make it default)

    Sometimes we started with instances like

    node-1
    node-2

    and so on. Today, due to scaling, we have a lot of node-10, node-11 instances.

    The problem here is the order of the data, as there's no option for natural sort. The instances appear like this in the overview:

    node-1
    node-10
    node-11
    node-2
    node-3

    That's unmanageble at some point. We're still waiting for the "rename instances" feature, that also could help with this problem. But I guess the sort order will be a less painful task for the GCP engineers.

  6. BigQuery connectors for SqlServer and CloudSql for SqlServer

    Right now, there are no native or free BigQuery connectors for SqlServer or CloudSql for SqlServer. It's a very desired feature and would accelerate the migration of PowerBI dashboards to DataStudio+BigQuery.

  7. ftp_listing not working in PHP GAE

    There is a bug where ftp_nlist() in PHP GAE fails to work sometimes.

    This affects our applications. I have a scheduled task (cron) that will regularly check a remote FTP server for any new events and download the files. Yes, I am using ftp_pasv(). At the very least I'd like to know what's causing this error because the error returned is "unknown".

    The error I keep seeing:
    Warning: ftp_rawlist(): bind() failed: Unknown error 4294967295 (-1) in /base/data/home/apps/s~striped-antler-117423/1.391621080411061890/ftp.php on line 28

    To fix this issue, You guys need to install a patch. Please go through the below link,

  10. Add a "notARobot" field to Google Plus OAuth tokens for users who have paid money for Google products

    Bot accounts are a big problem for apps and social media sites. One effective means of combating these is to subject users to captchas, which is not ideal for user experience, and it is sufficiently cumbersome that it is almost never used for frequent actions such as voting. Another method is to use email verification, but this is not terribly effective as the cost of creating an email account for a bot are very low. To be effective, bot detection mechanisms need to be high-cost to circumvent. Fortunately, many people with gmail accounts also have spent money on Google products…

    under review  ·  Paul Nash responded

    Thanks for the suggestion, this is great feedback! We’ll pass it along to the team.

  12. Add labels to Committed Use Discounts so I can leverage the cost-center label in my reporting.

    I use a cost-center and env label to slice up costs and allocate them appropriately. Unfortunately after adding Committed Use Discounts, my calculations are off. Would like to be able to have labels for all resources / SKU's that can generate charges.

  15. Make Cloud Spanner a multimodel database

    I think the technology behind Cloud Spanner could be used to implement other types of databases such as documents.
    It will be possible to use the same sql language or an adaptation of it so that it is possible to make queries between documents and tables.

  16. Give subnets and instances a routable IPv6 block/address

    It is useful to have stable and succinct IPv6 blocks to be used for firewalls, as well as avoiding the many other indignities of undesired NAT.

    Here's how AWS does it, which is pretty good:

    VPCs (=~ Network) can receive an AWS-assigned block that is internet-routable. The customer can assign subnets (=~ SubNetwork) within that space. Sidebar: a customer cannot choose the size, /64 is obliged: that's fine, it's a customary size for maximum compatibility.

    Finally, network interfaces, including the default one assigned to instances upon boot, can have one or more IPv6 addresses assigned to them, or generated by…
