This comment is very short-sighted and exactly backwards. Security and reliability are only possible when your systems are simple, easy to understand, and easy to configure. If simplicity is not an explicit engineering design goal, then your system will become towering house of cards that is impossible to configure securely or correctly. Andrew is correct to point out that GCP's configuration is unnecessarily complex, which hinders adoption and creates the conditions for insecure configuration to slip through the gaps.
