By the links you shared instance level SLA on AWS is 99.5%. GCP instance level is 99.99%. That's not the same.

> For each individual Amazon EC2 instance (“Single EC2 Instance”), AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Single EC2 Instance available with an Instance-Level Uptime Percentage of at least 99.5%

The underlying storage isn't the same as well, and that matters more. EBS is 99.95% durable. Even standard zonal PD's on GCP are >99.99%, balanced are >99.999%, SSDs are >99.9999%.

Even if it was 99.99% (it's not on AWS) what's the point of having your instance be 99.99% if the underlying disks might disappear? That's something I've seen happen multiple times on AWS, never once on GCP.
