Google launches cloud computing service Compute Engine
Urs Hall, vice president of technical infrastructure at Google announced a new service from the company's good - Compute Engine. According to him, the focus of the new service is based on performance, scalability and cost. He showed a genome computing application running on 600,000 nuclei.
Another application used 10,000 virtual machines, but this is not the limit, Google will provide 50% more computing power than other companies.
When launching the Compute Engine, we worked with a number of partners — such as RightScale, Puppet Labs, OpsCode, Numerate, Cliqr, and MapR — to integrate their products with the Google Compute Engine. These partners offer services management services that allow you to easily transfer applications to the cloud, as well as between different cloud services.

he noted that in spite of the fact that in our time there are many
players offering cloud infrastructure services, there are big
prospects for Google as well, since the transition to the cloud is more
cyclical and has a long-term perspective. “This is not about stealing
other players' market share, ”he said.
“I think it's even early, because the whole IT industry itself is in childhood,”
he said. "If you look at it, you will see that almost 99 percent
companies are not in the cloud. ” Hols said, however, that this is perfectly appropriate.

caused cloud clients to become “stateless.”
"This is still a very young market, and frankly, in five years you will have
a completely different look at the types of clouds and the services they provide. ”
Hols was restrained in predicting the popularity of the Compute Engine, but
feel free to point out that google works in business infrastructure in
over the years, and this is one of the key benefits to
the company. “The market will show,” he said and asked to ask the same question through
two years.
Despite the dismissal of Google, it is impossible not to notice the looming shadow
Amazon. Amazon Web Services, thanks to its aggressive policies, and its
faith in cloud technologies, has gained a good niche, with the result that it has more
billion dollars in revenue. But not only this income makes the IT industry
jealous of the Amazon cloud business.
The success of Amazon’s cloud services made it attractive for startups and
independent application developers that cover the cloud stack
Amazon services. These coders are kings in the new cloudy world.
Fighting for developers in the cloud and on mobile platforms is big
21st century question worth trillions of dollars. Microsoft Azure, iCloud from
Apple, Amazon Web Services, and now the Google Compute Engine, all of them
try to catch their cloud hooks developers. And it is rather strange that
Facebook is not trying to do the same.
Now Amazon is king of the hill. When I asked Amazon Werner's CTO
Vogels about the next five years, he talked about a new layer of services, where Amazon
will become a trendsetter. This is a clear advantage to the Seattle company,
which angered his partners. He understands that this is a way to get money spent on IT dinosaurs like Hewlett-Packard.
These giants of the past must wake up with a migraine, and the appearance of Google's Compute Engine will further complicate their lives.

- Calculations - Run Linux virtual machines on demand. 1, 2, 4, and 8 virtual machines are available with 3.75GB of memory per virtual core.
- Storage - Store data on a local disk, on our new permanent block device, or on our online scalable Google Cloud Storage.
- Network. Connect virtual machines with each other using our high-performance network technologies to form powerful computing clusters, with Internet connection management and with the ability to configure a firewall.
- Tools - Configure and manage virtual machines using the command line or the web interface. You can also create your own dynamic management system using our API.
