[google-appengine] Definition of Google's Infrastructure

2008-10-07 Thread dleifker

What exactly does the term Google's Infrastructure imply? Once
deployed does an application get deployed to regional (ie
international) data centers? If not, from what general geographical
area are the applications being served from? (US only?) And are there
plans to allow an application to be deployed to international
locations?

Reliability/redundancy is important. However don't overlook the fact
that performance for international users is greatly affected by your
server's location, considering latency/packet loss, etc. And there are
markets outside the US. ;-)

 That's the point of the cloud -- if you're going to make your resources
 external, remote, you need to provide a means for assuring uptime. For some
 people, different geophysical locations are required for their service.
 Obviously GAE beta shouldn't see a true NEED for this while still in beta,
 but like SSL and everything else GAE lacks, there IS a need, it IS a basic
 premise of modern cloud computing.

  So you want to be assured that if all the Google data centers in the
  U.S. (over 12) go down (I wonder the probability of this), your GAE
  application will still be up?

   Ahh ... availability and assurance? That's half the point of the cloud.

Honestly, why would anyone need to deploy their GAE applications to
international data centers?
