I've been reading up on Google Compute Engine. Lately, I'm into high-performance numerical computing, and I use AWS for much of my work. But looking at the kind of instances and pricing that GCE provides - is it a good idea to make a switch?<p>Thanks!
Looks to me that Amazon are serious about the cloud and their hosting/database products. Amazon are good at making a business out of affordable margins.<p>Google are keen to engage with early adopters and see where that engagement takes them but show little sign of committing to being a long term service provider of this sort.
