95/100
Google Cloud Persistent Disk is foundational block storage for engineering teams running Compute Engine and GKE workloads. It delivers high availability and snapshot capabilities for cloud-native applications but offers no direct utility to marketing, sales, or support teams as it is strictly infrastructure. DevOps teams benefit from automated disk management and live resize features.
Ibm Cloud...
60/100
IBM Cloud Block Storage serves DevOps and platform engineering teams managing IBM Cloud virtual servers and Kubernetes clusters. It delivers no value to marketing, sales, or support teams as it requires operating system-level configuration and command-line management. Product teams only interact with it indirectly through infrastructure-as-code templates.
Adoption RiskExpected friction, training effort, and behavior change needed to move teams onto the alternative.
