I believe many see AWS offer as "we have the same *nix boxes you already have but cheaper/on-demand/easily scalable". Plus nice feature as local storage of your data (can be a legal requirement for some industries). Create an account and start deploying now with the smallest investment and commitment.
GAE on the other hand is "we can solve your scalability problems" that many simply don't have and "you should write/re-write your apps to use our framework" which is a red flag to many as well.

- deepsun 10y agoActually, GAE is more about easier development for starter projects. GCE is more like a competitor to AWS, not GAE.
- democracy 10y agoFor starter project in starting companies maybe, for existing companies not that easy...
