Key points from interview with Google engineering director Peter Magnusson during Google I/O. He explained their cloud direction. He insists that the future is toward completely managed services. Do you think so?
I also just submitted this article, nice that HN coalesces submissions.
I prefer using PaaS myself with Heroku and AppEngine being my favorites but I also enjoyed kicking the tires on dotCloud, OpenShift, and others.
That said I just rented a high capacity Hetzner.de server a few weeks ago because a lot of what I do, besides customer projects where they pay the bills for infrastructure, is learning side projects and some of my experiments take a lot of resources.
I can't comfortably afford to do some of my side projects on PaaS because I don't directly make money from them.
