> Derek’s point about savings is about list price differences that result from total system performance (and not any sort of special discounting).

Obviously that's the thing you'd choose to highlight in a public Google-hosted presentation after a strategic partnership that is a bonanza in marketing for Google Cloud. It wouldn't work so well to tell a room full of engineers "We moved to Google cuz they gave us a fat discount, one you can't get because you're not Twitter!"

The fact that you allocated a top level URL for it is embarrassing (https://cloud.google.com/twitter/). Can you imagine if Amazon advertised https://aws.amazon.com/netflix/?

It's a case study. Google didn't create a one-off URL for Twitter, but have the same URL pattern for all their public case studies:

- https://cloud.google.com/chilean-healthcare/

- https://cloud.google.com/now-ims/

- etc.

Amazon has absolutely the same, except that their URL is slightly different, but I didn't think that there is a URL police which determines which URLs are considered embarrassing for case studies and which not:
