I don't think the comparison is equal. You are comparing PAAS to IAAS, but AWS does have Elastic Beanstalk which would be a more direct comparison e.g. PAAS.

You are comparing PAAS to IAAS, but AWS does have Elastic Beanstalk which would be a more direct comparison e.g. PAAS. Like App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk handles the auto scaling without having to setup and understand all the details around EC2.
- jehna1 12y agoYou are quite right. Amazon does have different set of products that would also cover the pros of App Engine. I think the comparison is more of "PaaS vs. IaaS" than "AWS vs Google Cloud Platform".
- davismwfl 12y agoYep, that seems fair. You made a number of valid points, looking at it from a PaaS vs. IaaS.
- pacala 12y agoGoogle has Google Compute Engine for their IAAS layer. https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine/ https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine/
- jehna1 12y agoYes, and the ManagedVM will work as a kind of middle-man between GAE and Compute Engine to give greater flexibility on configuration. For now, it's only in beta.
