GAE cloud solution compare with VMWare's open source Cloud Foundry

[TJ Yang]

From G+ stream at R2, I learn there is a new Cloud solution called Cloud Foundry.

So far, my reading from R1 found C.F. has following pros/features over GAE.

1. The solution itself is open source, no vendor lock-in.

2. You can compile C.F. src tree and deploy private cloud using existing infrastructure in your intranet.

3. Support PHP,SCALAR and Ruby framework and Perl (from Activestate).

4. Community development on solution itself  is welcome.

Hope GAE can match above features from C.F. in the future.

The only catch of C.F. solution is, its commercial hosting price is still unknown.

actually you missed one additional thing.

cloudfoundry solution does not autoscale at this time.

price unknown is a big concern too, but you already mentioned that.

In my view one of the biggest advantages of GAE is the DataStore.  You can’t really compare to other platforms if one of the things on your feature requirements is “100+ Gigabyte DataStore”

 

CF’s PHP support is really rough by the way.  It doesn’t support a lot of libraries that are out there, and because of the way it has implemented parallelism, it often log jams when Low CPU long Wait processes are spawned (like Curl)
