Google enters Online Processing, Storage and Serving Space
General April 7th, 2008If you haven’t heard already Amazon has been doing this for a bit. Basically rather then buying a new server you can use a nice web based service to do things for you. Add all your stuff to their servers to run and it will act as a virtual server for you. Google is offering decent amount of bandwidth, storage and processing under their free plan. Read more about it here:
This is only in beta right now and only open to the first 10k people that signed up at 9pm PST. I tried at 10:30pm and it made it sound like I missed the boat and was added to a waiting list. But mind as well get on that list now if you’re interested.

Seems as though they’re still allowing people to get in. Better signup fast.

Interesting, Ive signed up and go that same message, but I set it so that they contact me.
Thanks for sharing… I really want to check it out.

It’s not all that useful at the moment as the only language they currently support is Python.

Ah crappy, haven’t had much time to invest into it.
