Google Cloud's GPUs are not launched if they are not in general availability.

Normally I'd agree with you (despite my vested interest), but from a security standpoint these are launched. We simply don't let users run side by side or one after the other unless we believe in the setup. On a related point, being GA then certainly shouldn't the bar for security, it would at best be for Beta.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and even pitched in on GPUs).

overall I thought fuzzing PCI-E was really interesting, I hope having the GPU's on a switch doesn't degrade performance too bad.

When they hit general availability I'll be probably running games on GCE and streaming the output to my laptop, so long as egress costs aren't too bad.
