It is great to have a competitor to Amazon. This service poses no threat in the short term to Amazon but will spark competition not only on featurset but also pricing. Next we need Microsoft to step things up as well as IBM.

Until the Big G starts letting developers build their own stacks and run whatever language they want it will not be widely adopted and pull people from Amazon. At this point I think you are looking at hobbyists and the Google/python fan boys.

In the end it is the developers who benefit the most.

Can someone get me an invite, it's already maxed out! You would think they would open this to any and every developer interested.

IMO Google needs to do this now because Facebook is basically Windows 3.1 for the Internet, already.

@adam - now that's an interesting thought.

@charbarred - definitely let me know what you think, I'm interested to hear about the hands on usage.

I must admit that Amazon runs a tight ship, and it will be hard to sway me to switch to Google. Saying that, Amazon's service when it comes to their development tools is atrocious. Their attitude is "here are the tools, here's the documentation, if you have a problem go post it on a forum.". I can't recall the last time I saw Google posting a customer support email address though.
I got my invitation...looking forward to testing it out....

From the looks of Googles new offering, it could very well have been built on top of Amazon Web Services. Muahahhahaha
