Everyone's and I mean everyone's high level stuff is garbage. Remember when Lotus Notes was the peak. The only thing constant is change etc.

Amazon has a uniquely large spread, in that case.

I use S3, EC2, Route 53, and RDS. That's more or less it. I advise others to do likewise. Not the same set, mind you, but the same mindset.

GitHub is good, yes? And Excel? And Notion? And Datadog?

Lots of companies with excellent user friendly products.

GCP is good in that regard too, minus IAM.

Care to elaborate why? IMO, GCP's IAM is years ahead of say AWS.

I don't think GCP IAM is approachable to the degree that it's other services are. (Better than AWS? Sure.)

A hundreds different "Admin" roles, a bunch of OAuth client stuff, other weird settings.

It's a fundamentally hard problem, but I don't think GCP solved it in an approachable/user-friendly way, which is the topic.

I second that. It's honestly simple. You assign roles (bundling of individual API call permissions) to cloud identities to resources.
