As you're already on App Engine (and thus already using Google Cloud Platform), you might be interested in this: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/containers https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/containers It's early stages (and I'm not involved -- I work on Compute Engine), but some of the devs lurk around HN from time to time. Also, closer to the existing App Engine mindset: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/ https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/

Hadn't heard about container-optimized VMs. They seem to have very overlapping goals with CoreOS. Having choice is generally a good thing, but it makes the water a little murky given how similar the goals seem :). Have you had a chance to play around with CoreOS + Docker on compute engine?

  I haven't played with it yet, no, but I work close to the bottom of the stack (in the nitty gritty bits of virtualization stuff); modern Linux kernels all look more or less the same from way down here :) We do provide public images for CoreOS on GCE, though, and I think there are some public blog posts on getting it up and going with Kubernetes (if you wanted to go that route). From the Core OS folks: CoreOS on GCE: https://coreos.com/docs/running-coreos/cloud-providers/google-compute-engine/ https://coreos.com/docs/running-coreos/cloud-providers/googl... And Kubernetes + CoreOS (not GCE specific): https://coreos.com/blog/running-kubernetes-example-on-CoreOS-part-1/ https://coreos.com/blog/running-kubernetes-example-on-CoreOS... https://coreos.com/blog/running-kubernetes-example-on-CoreOS-part-2/ https://coreos.com/blog/running-kubernetes-example-on-CoreOS... Hope the helps get you going if you're looking to give things a go. If you do run into issues I'll probably forward you along to our containers folks who are much better informed about that end of the stack than I am.

    I was really excited to see (emerging) support for docker on GCE; I went to check it out and started setting things up but slowly realized the system administration burden wasn't going to make sense for a small userbase, i.e. me. That's perhaps sandstorm's biggest--or at least most visible--contribution: getting an app installed and going is just a few clicks for end-users.
