Hmmm. I have to destroy my instances on Softlayer for billing to cease ?
gcloud minimum charge is 10m. Granted they have capacity issues.
AWS minimum is 1 hour.
Softlayer is 1 hour, but effectively up to 4 hours as there is a setup cost.
Even with a hypervisor, I am looking at 36 threads at 2.9Ghz on AWS vs. 16 threads at 2GHz on Softlayer.
I can still live with dropped SOAP, services in Beta, flaky API's, and keypairs that fluctuate just for those threads and the ability to turn it off like a tap.
The gcloud api's, especially gsutil from cli, are excellent.
