If Too Expensive Then Shut Down Prod

Google Cloud's cost optimization recommendations hit different when they casually suggest shutting down your VM to save $5.16/month. Like yeah, technically that WOULD save money, but that VM is... you know... running your entire production application.

The best part? The recommendation system has no idea what's critical and what's not. It just sees an idle CPU and thinks "hmm, wasteful." Meanwhile, that "idle" VM is serving thousands of users and keeping your business alive. But sure, let's save the cost of a fancy latte per month by nuking prod.

Cloud providers really out here giving you the financial advice equivalent of "have you tried just not being poor?" Peak efficiency mindset right there.
