Maybe [1]. I wouldn't count on being protected while outside the EU.
Art. 3 GDPR Territorial scope
Article 3(1) This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:
Article 3(2)(a) - the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or
Article 3(2)(b) - the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.
Article 3(3) This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.
Practically you're just going to get extra tracked because you're a foreigner. Also if the articles about TSA borrowing your phone to clone it real quick or forcing you to log into facebook are true, I wouldn't expect them to abide to GDPR.
GCP has great primitives that you can use to build your architecture. Things are generally faster, cheaper (with far simpler billing), and scale without any tuning.
However their biggest weakness is the overall alpha/beta stage of many APIs and the lack of managed services. AWS, especially with these recent announcements, has so many managed services that you can get started building your business product quicker than anywhere else, even if the offerings and billing are more complex.
GCP does have some things like Spanner and BigQuery that are unmatched though.
Right, Azure has an interesting offering for a global database with CosmosDB but AWS is leaping ahead of the game with global tables and multi-master/region Aurora, which are far more usable and productive than the others.
That's a different user. We run on GCP/GKE and aren't moving, but by managed services I'm talking about the multitude of products that AWS offer in a managed version, everything from NFS to a graph database now. It makes building products very easy since you have an answer for any infrastructure need.
Azure comes close but GCP is very far behind. What's there is nice and well designed, but leaves a lot of gaps to fill in.
Google's approach to auth is cumbersome and leaves a lot to be desired. Also, there's nothing like cloudformation for configuring supporting services (their equivalent is a pathetic joke).
The only thing I'd use GCP for today is bigquery. For everything else I'd rather use AWS.
I work for Google.. Sorry to hear that your experience was poor but thanks for the candid feedback!
Is the equivalent to CloudFormation on GCP supposed to be Deployment Manager? Would you mind elaborating what could have been done better?
I work closely with them so I can at least relay the feedback. If it's easy enough maybe I'll even get to help since I am interested in working on that project =D
Yes Deployment Manager. I can't remember now. I looked at it when I needed to automate something and found that I couldn't do it. IIRC it seemed too limited in its capabilities.
The GKE auth thing is so bad to the point we had to roll back from using service accounts to using normal API keys because there was nowhere in stack driver to add a service account key file. So the choice was either lose all our endpoint monitoring or just switch to API keys. When I opened a support ticket about this the support guy seemed incompetent. He literally couldn't understand what I was saying despite repeating myself 3 times in a way I struggled to make any clearer. It wasn't worth the hassle.
I'm running a gRPC/REST service on GKE with Endpoints and to add a new credential I needed to add the key to the service.yml file and update the endpoint. There's no way that scales. I can't wait to use AWS IAM for this instead. We had to backtrack and give out API keys instead of having anything better.
It's like GCP services weren't designed to work with each other. Just a hodgepodge of services that are fine if you can run CLI commands, but as soon as you want to get an ops team involved who want to do everything through a UI you're screwed.
Oh, and I can't tell you how frustrating it is for the k8s alpha clusters to just vanish on you. I'm a big boy. Let me decide when I want to kill an alpha cluster because, you know, I might know better than whichever engineer put that 30 day limit in.
Sorry for the rant, but as you can imagine I'm done with GCP and can't wait to head back to AWS land.
Terraform [1] should be preferred over both Google's and Amazon's as it supports cross cloud provisioning and provides features such as update plan which are crucial for making low risk changes to infra.
We ditched managed kubernetes on GCP and rolled our own using kops on AWS. Things are more stable. ELB works better than Google Cloud load balancer which had random issues and meltdowns when we were there. Also support is better.
> The employer, before petitioning for H-1B status for any alien worker pursuant to an H-1B LCA, took good faith steps to recruit U.S. workers for the job for which the alien worker is sought, at wages at least equal to those offered to the H-1B worker. Also, the employer will offer the job to any U.S. worker who applies and is equally or better qualified than the H-1B worker. This attestation does not apply if the H-1B worker is a "priority worker" (see Section 203(b) (1) (A), (B), or (C) of the INA). [0]
While it may not be the sole purposes as outlined in the link [0] you provided, it does mean that the rules state this very fact that precedence is to be given to US workers. So saying it's 100% wrong is... wrong as well.
I like the idea, nearly a throw-away line in the article, that the H-1B visas should be granted to the highest paying jobs rather than by lottery. That would certainly cut down on the abuses.
The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.
This text is genuinely surprising to me. The only statutes that come close to meeting that goal are the ones that only apply to H-1B dependent employers and wilful violators.
The 1990 legislation creating the H-1B program was pretty specific that it was for getting skills into the country that could not be obtained locally. Considering all the notices that are supposed to be posted. It is abused heavily, but that was the intent.
