GAE is to me a true cloud compute environment - you have 0 control over the hardware, and magic happens to scale your services. This does mean that you are restricted in what you can do - no file writes, only have the option of bigtable for database storage inside GAE, and some other restrictions.
AWS is just glorified virtual private hosting. you create a machine image, you have to manage it (software updates, installs etc), but you get to do anything you want with it. on AWS you still have to monitor load on your devices and request additional servers to be started. (they do have tools that begin to automate that process, but it's not fully automated). The freedom does allow you to do pretty much anything you can do with a physical server. is that helpful? cfh On Oct 24, 1:14 am, Luis Díaz <diazluis2...@gmail.com> wrote: > cuales serian los a favor y los contras en comparación a Google app engine? > > what would be the pros and cons compared to Google App Engine? > > 2010/10/22 glimmung <phil.kil...@gmail.com> > > > Hi All, > > > For anyone looking for hosting, Amazon's recent announcement of the > > AWS Free Tier may be of interest: - > > >http://aws.amazon.com/free/ > > > HTH > > > -- > > > Cheers, > > > PhilK > > -- > Díaz Luis > TSU Analisis de Sistemas > Universidad de Carabobo > > http://web2pyfacil.blogspot.com/ > Facultad de > Odontología<http://www.odontologia.uc.edu.ve/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar...>
