Sometime explain the strategic rationale behind this? Google's previous big acquisition in the cloud space, Looker, didn't exactly pan out.



I think Google sees a fast growing company and is acquiring it. Many GCP related acquisitions are weird, like Looker, Apogee and are awkward fits. Unsure how this goes.


On top of it this one is an amount that you wouldn't pay if it wasn't existential, and it really doesn't feel like it is.


.. and all the talk of multicloud makes me feel like I'm reading an IBM press release, which is never good.
