Final release of GAE Managed VMs?

[Uljan Sharka]

Approximately when will be available the final release of Managed VMs?

Does it make sense to host production applications on top of this if it is not covered by any SLA or deprecation policy while in beta?

I don't believe any announcements about this have been made (has Google ever pre-announced such dates, even "approximately"?)

According to https://cloud.google.com/terms/launch-stages, and I quote:

    Beta releases are suitable for limited production use cases

Of course, this is just Google's own opinion, so you'll have to decide on your own, case by case, based on your own judgment and your own detailed understanding of your own situation (would it be a "limited" production use case, or, not "limited"? -- and so forth).

For what it's worth, I have been using Managed VM's in a production application for several months now.  They usually are pretty good, but we just had a rough patch the past 2 weeks as Google is working on improvements to the platform.  I'm currently considering going to good 'ol GCE instances if i can find a good way to connect task queues, memcache and db to a GCE instance.
