Managed VMs build on Docker to manage app engine applications makes PaaS tooling easy; customers think tooling is hard today in PaaS says Google

This makes App engine more open; flexible handling of tools; powerful bc you have range of compute engine available

makes front end applications highly scalable. But how about elastic capabilty

@CrowdCaptain Compute engine is their IaaS product for elastic capability; Google needs to have database to compete with #oracle to win the enterprise

Google announces Ubuntu relationship for distro capability and it's rolling out today says Google

Google finally has auto scaling for the masses of developers to manage fleets of virtual machines. Playing catchup to #AWS

Google announcing SSD storage for super IO requirements for transactional workloads. It's the first SSD product. Lets see the IOPs baby

scaling CPU from disc is attractive. Google dropping the price to subsidize penetration. Hmm what does AWS think or other cloud providers. Compute engine getting an overhaul

@heroku is the first PaaS (really, when you think abt it) vs @googlecloud & App Engine, but I'll let it slide ;)

Google I was around then in the mainframe days

@lcooney I was rolling my eyes when I heard that as well

I'd bet that @adamse is as well..

@adamse who was the first PaaS layer ??? Google claims they are

Kubernetes schedules the containers across resources

Building an App in AppEngine has a learning curve and relying on it (no matter how great) creates lock-in

@PlatenReport that is why they say or hope Kurbernetes will help

5 years ago, nobody took AWS seriously. AWS somewhat quietly while any other tech company would have been a giant locomotive that never could make it

Everyone now has woken up and wants a piece of the market. Competitors are everywhere and the names would be daunting to any company

Surprised that Fujitsu is second. Google definitely well positioned to gain share in this market quickly.

Won't happen unless they Win Enterprises that don't know what Kubernetes is or what a Docker does

@PlatenReport Google can't win the enterprise til they get baseline developer traction imho; enterprise is a black hole but profitable if you can thrive there

Can't get baseline developer traction when critical Enterprise apps run on sophisticated yet proprietary tech that they are not interested in

AWS is executing on a plan that includes Enterprise,Government, Education, etc. The tech wasn't the question, the execution and customer wins were!

@PlatenReport totally agree with you the recent CIA win was huge

love this deal by #AWS

Google's greatest weapon is their checkbook as long as Facebook doesn't destroy their Add Business they will be fine

@PlatenReport @furrier as outdated as salesmanship may seem, they still need good field salespeople to master the enterprise.

@MDebelic totally agree enterprise is not easy; I just commented live that google is doing the bookend strategy; dev and large scale enterprise nothing in the middle

benefits are standing apps up and easy to package and distributed to run across horizontal infrastructure cc @jerrychen

Timing of the containers is perfect for this marketplace; eliminates dependencies on cross vendor clouds/infra with common mgt capabilities

google has been doing containers b4 containers were containers; hey CrowdChat is an Engagement Container

container based architectures will be table stakes in clouds to host containers; Docker has become industry defacto container for clouds;

Containers also offer much reduced overhead, improving server/CPU utilization and performance.

Important to watch players like @beshippable - the @heroku of the new container world #devops #deployment

Containers also make it easy to move applications from one platform to another. Theoretically if the IaaS platform supports the container technology it should be transparent.

This will further commoditize the IaaS market.

@BertLatamore Containers are very important for compatibility and easy of provisioning & running large scale of apps

Container engine is big announcement the person behind the product Craig live on @theCUBE sharing it all

these guys are super smart on the cube amazing interview on Docker and Kubernetes

Yes @cmcluck is super smart and he named Kubernetes product; it's greek for helmsman of a ship;

Empowered decentralization

The new infrastructure allows fine grained management to head off problems early and increase value.

golang is rapidly becoming the language of the cloud

reliability and user experience

scaling back end infrastructure is very hard. Zynga started on #AWS and then built their own and now switched back to #AWS - cloud is winning bc scaling with tools & mgt from AWS and Google. Don't count out IBM and HP

Google really banking on mobile infrastructure

Google strategy and announcements show they are very smart in how they are going to mkt; focus on #developers and show the big iron compute with tooling; of course embracing containers

Horizontal cloud-based services like compute/storage, connectivity & security are gradually taking over from traditional in-house, vertical stacks. The real benefit is that the C-suite can focus on their business without IT distractions.

The move to cloud will drive mobile deeper into the company. The tablet/smartphone become windows into applications, inc. Office, running in the cloud.
