Podcast With Google's Pete Koomen On New Business Model For App Engine

Podcast With Google's Pete Koomen On New Business Model For App Engine - David Berlind's Tech Radar - InformationWeek: "When it comes to running custom apps in the cloud, there are basically two architectures. One involves an IaaS (Intel (NSDQ: INTC)-as-a-Service) provider like Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) with its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) where you load your own software stack onto Amazon's pay-as-you-go bare metal (virtual as it may be). The other is to develop your code to run on one of the platforms as a service (PaaS). One such PaaS is Salesforce.com's Force.com. Another is Google's App Engine, which had limitations on its usage because it was free. In this interview, App Engine Product Manager Pete Koomen discusses the business model for App Engine that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) announced yesterday."
