☁️ Google makes it cheaper to leave the cloud ☁️

Are you thinking about leaving the cloud? Google's latest announcement shows that you are now the only one.

"Starting today, Google Cloud customers who wish to stop using Google Cloud and migrate their data to another cloud provider and/or on premises, can take advantage of free network data transfer to migrate their data out of Google Cloud."

But what drives this change? Could it be a proactive step ahead of new EU regulations to boost competition in the cloud sector? Or perhaps a tactical play to increase their market share? 🤔

I guess we will never know. Let's just be happy with this move. Because one thing is certain: this decision significantly increases freedom in choosing where to store your data and host your compute power! 🌤️
