Then can't they run-out-of-money DDoS you fairly easily? Since you'd pay for the outgoing bandwidth and at Google Cloud and AWS that's expensive.



I don't know how expensive it is with Google/AWS, but I'm paying about $1.50 per TB at my non-cloud-host (vs their $12500/TB), so if it comes down to it, they need to outspend me by multiple magnitudes. Sucks, but still cheaper than losing customers due to hyper-annoying Recaptchas, and I doubt that somebody is willing to stomach $12500 cost to make me suffer $1.50 ... I'm sure there would be more efficient attacks ;)
