Ushering in the next generation of computing at Google I/O

Google Compute Engine is now available for everyone

At last year's I/O, Google Compute Engine that provides a fast, consistently high-performance environment for running virtual machines was announced. At this year's I/O, Google Compute Engine became open to everyone in preview, and you can sign up online.

New Compute Engine features includes:

Sub-hour billing charges for instances in one-minute increments with a ten-minute minimum, so you don’t pay for compute minutes that you don’t use
Shared-core instances provide smaller instance shapes for low-intensity workloads
Advanced Routing features help you create gateways and VPN servers, and enable you to build applications that span your local network and Google’s cloud
Large persistent disks support up to 10 terabytes per volume, which translates to 10X the industry standard

Google App Engine adds the PHP runtime

PHP was announced as the latest supported runtime for Google App Engine in Limited Preview. PHP is one of the world's most popular programming languages, used by developers to power everything from simple web forms to complex enterprise applications.

App Engine 1.8.0 is now available and includes a Limited Preview of the PHP runtime - your top requested feature. We’re bringing one of the most popular web programming languages to App Engine so that you can run open source apps like WordPress. It also offers deep integration with other parts of Cloud Platform including Google Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage.

Google Cloud Datastore, a fast, powerful, NoSQL database launched

Google Cloud Datastore, a fully managed solution for storing non-relational data was announced. Based on the popular Google App Engine High Replication Datastore (HRD), Cloud Datastore provides a schemaless, non-relational datastore with the same accessibility of Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud SQL.

Google Cloud Endpoints and Google Cloud Console were also announced.
