How GCP and AWS Name Services

Text on the meme

How GCP names stuff You store stuff in cloud - Cloud storage SQL in cloud - Cloud SQL Query stuff from big data - BigQuery CDN for cloud - CloudCDN Stream analytics - DataFlow (cuz data flows in a stream :D) Run stuff in cloud - Cloud Run Functions in cloud - Cloud Function How AWS names stuff Aurora Amplify Copilot Fargate Route 53 Port 53 is daemon DNS LightSail SageMaker Because you got your job to become a sage after using this Elastic Beanstalk Because the creators stalk photos of beans on instagram Polly Because the creators loved Nirvana Glue Redshift Because you shift from Oracle whose colour is red.

What it means

The meme contrasts Google Cloud Platform's highly literal service names with Amazon Web Services' more whimsical names. A laughing man and Charlie Day gesturing at a conspiracy board accompany the joke, suggesting that AWS names such as SageMaker, Elastic Beanstalk, Polly, and Greengrass have bizarre or contrived explanations. It is used as a reaction to confusing, arbitrary, or overly creative cloud-service naming.
