Libwebsockets
This is just the endemic result of C++ lacking a package manager.
Every library starts out small, adds its own vendored utilities, adds its own dependencies, and eventually becomes boost.
To be fair to this project, theyve worked quite hard to make the library consumable by others… but yes, its hard to look at the code like https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/50ba61082dc40b...
…and not go… really? As part of the core of libwebsocket?
When you read the justification it’s mostly “well we have a good framework now, so why not use it for other things too?”
C++ life.

Remote connections to GCE VM machines
You can use it to ssh to instances that don't have external IP Addresses. You can also use it to connect to remote destkop for windows vm's.
- Simplest way to place existing public GCE VMs behind IAP and only allow our internal users?

Zero-Trust RDP and SSH Access to VMs on Google Cloud
This sounds like a deal breaker for some use cases: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Trou... "Because of the way IAP Desktop tunnels RDP connections, it always uses NTLM for authentication and can't use Kerberos." There may be environments that lose the security benefits of Kerberos over NTLMv2 (e.g., mutual authentication) because they've been forced into a new compliance mandate that dictates adoption of Zero Trust in all available contexts.
- GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop: IAP Desktop is a Windows application that provides zero-trust Remote Desktop and SSH access to Linux and Windows VMs on Google Cloud.

Is it possible to use IAP Desktop to interact with Ubuntu desktop compute engine VM?
Just googled it and found this… so maybe I was wrong (not about RDP but wrong that the tool doesn’t support it)? https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Connecting-to-linux-instances
