I have had a small-to-serious look at Azure, Google Compute, Amazon, Rackspace, Heroku, etc. There are more serious cloud comparison efforts than mine, for sure! In the end, my prediction is that cloud computing, storage, CDN etc will become such a hyper-commodity that your future app-hosting dash will instead be via a cloud aggregator. That future cloud aggregator would report something like: "Good morning, Dave. Your application 'MyCoolApp' is healthy. It is currently running across 4 continents and 17 cloud providers. CDN has been weighted to 3 providers based on our 'Gamma' speed/price ratio, last updated on Tuesday. One provider was dropped due to a terms-of-service change. Your current redundancy profile allows you to drop 1 continent or up to 5 providers at any time without business interruption. Your application load balancers route to compute-intensive servers in the UK between 2:30 and 4:30pm weekdays GMT due to a weekday spike detected for which your compute pricing was previously not optimal. Your data is hosted on a shared-secrets algorithm model. At least 6 providers would need to collaborate in order to decrypt the data they host for you. Your monthly fees total is currently 16.2 Cayman Bitcoins, for which you have earned 0.0000001 Frequent SpaceMiles points. Thank you." -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
