Managed VMs are not the same thing as AppEngine apps. They are generic vms to run any kind of service that can then be called by your AE apps. It was announced a couple of days ago.
- spankalee 13y agoIt's my understanding that Managed VMs are a type of AppEngine app. They are scaled the same way and have access to the same services like Datastore, memcache, task queues, mail, etc.
- magicalist 13y agoIt might just be a matter of semantics, but in the link there it makes it sound like a Compute Engine VM with access to AppEngine features. In the event they did a few days ago, I think it was the managed VM part where they demoed SSHing in and switching some things over from managed to manual, so I imagine it is much closer to compute engine.
- j_baker 13y agoManaged VMs are basically app engine apps that run on a compute engine instance. It gives you the ease of deployment and scaling of App Engine without the limitations of the App Engine sandbox.
- mark_l_watson 13y ago+1 exactly right This is like saying that Dart can be run server side on an EC2 instance. I would like to see Dart (server side) added to the AppEngine supported language list (Go, Python, Java, PHP).
