I'm looking for information of Cloud Computing and a platform of Cloud
Computing where I could introduce my application. Somebody said me to
look for about Google App Engine: Does Google App Engine work with
Cloud Computing? Somebody knows a platform that works with Cloud
Computing?

I need a platform with Workflow and Orchestration.

Thank you!

Workflow and Orchestration will find you using Amazon Web Services with EC2
or Microsoft Azure.

environment .

What do you define as "Cloud Computing"... and do you know what it is?

You are refered to www.google.com/appengine/ or appengine.google.com
as viable locations,

as for your application, is it built with python to be accessed through
a
web browser or needing a full standalone Windowsd or Linux server?

Cloud Computing platforms... are you wanting to deploy an application
or develop an application to be hosted by "the cloud"...

We have an application and I would want to introduce it in Cloud Computing. We have read a lot of things about Cloud Computing and theirs advantages. I don't know if GAE is just a hosting which supports python environment or if I could get all the advantages of Cloud Computing with GAE.

I'm reading all the information of the differents actors of Cloud Computing and I must choose one and introduce my application into. Anybody knows the best application?? (Microsoft Azure, Intalio, Amazon...)

Thanks!

Amazon Web Services is a good point for beginners. (imho)

The greatest advantages of AppEngine are the ease of set-up, the
scalability, and the fact that your application is available
throughout the infrastructure that Google has built worldwide the
moment you publish. If you need a python-based environment and are OK
with the limitations of AE--proprietary non-relational datastore, some
python libraries not available--it's a great way to get started.
There's no cost while you're building your app, and if it's not a
resource hog, you might even get to run it in production mode for free
for some time.

But if you need finer-grain control over your environment, and you'd
prefer the type of cloud system that allows you to spawn virtualized
servers, then you may want to look into one of the other services.
Amazon EC2 is a good one, and I've heard good things about SliceHost.
Instead of a limited application environment, those services allow you
to configure a virtual server which functionally is the same as a
physical server, but which is running on a "cloud layer" in those
companies' infrastructure.

Personally, after years of administrating linux boxes, I'm thrilled to
move what I can to systems like AppEngine. It's not the right
solution for everything, though; neither are any of them. Your
question about which is the best one is kind of like if you were going
to build something and you asked, "What's the best tool? A hammer or
a saw?" Depending on the job, you might need just one, just the
other, or both.
