Today, we’re excited to announce unlimited access to Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) – a secure and seamless bridge between a company’s existing IT infrastructure and the AWS cloud. Since August 2009, Amazon VPC has been in a limited beta, during which we’ve selectively granted access. Starting today, all current and future Amazon EC2 customer accounts are enabled to use Amazon VPC, but customers will not be charged for Amazon VPC until they begin using it. Amazon VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources. To get started with the service, please visit the Amazon VPC detail page.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Enters Unlimited Beta
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Enters Unlimited Beta: "
App Engine SDK 1.3.0 Released Including Support for Larger User Uploads
App Engine SDK 1.3.0 Released Including Support for Larger User Uploads: "Today, we've very excited to release version 1.3.0 of the App Engine SDK, now available to both Java and Python developers. The newest SDK includes a new experimental Blobstore API for storage of files up to 50MB.
Store and Serve - Files can be uploaded and stored as blobs, to be served later in response to user requests. Developers can build their own organizational structures and access controls on top of blobs.
Pricing and Quotas - We include blob storage and transfer under the same datastore pricing and quotas you're already familiar with. For more information, see the App Engine quotas page.
The new Blobstore API is now available in both App Engine SDKs for local development. At this time it can only be used by applications that have enabled billing. There's a lot more information about the API and how it works in the Blobstore documentation (Python, Java) so please check that out and post any questions to the groups.
This release also includes some performance tweaks to the Java runtime. For example, we've sped up many reflective operations by up to 10x resulting in improvements on the order of 10% for applications based on dynamic languages. As always, there are a few other minor changes and bug fixes in this release, so make sure to read our release notes (Python, Java).

Google AppEngine
I know it's a little bit late to blog about Google's First Cloud Computing Platform - Google AppEngine - But i want to share with you my experience using it.
In the following posts i will share all my step by step toward building my applications there, including a real live links for this applications to go and check it live.
Hope you enjoy my posts and give me your feedback. GET PREPARED!!

Cloud Computing: Introducing the near future
I thought that the first post should introduce the reader to "What's Cloud Computing?", that I’m going to talk with you here about abc cloud computing.
Literally there isn't any fixed, wide known definition to the word Cloud Computing, but a lot of trials to describe the words rather than defining it. I can tell you the most convenient meaning from my point of view.
It's a Computing Power –In terms of CPU power and Memory- delivered as a Service to who wants to use it, such service always delivered through a large widely connected network called the Internet at which we replace it with the word Cloud as a more descriptive.
Starting a year and half ago "by time of this post", the world has shown the born of a native cloud computing platform by Google called "Google AppEngine" where the rumors came true, and the world of computing has revolved to a new era.
Years before we got a large scaled Hosting Industry providers - which was great by their time - that were matured enough to host your applications and systems with a very acceptable Service Level Agreement (SLA) to their customers.
Hugh challenges more than someone can imagine face cloud computing, and i think there will be always a challenge! Consider a soil that serves all natural plants exists in Earth.... can something like that exists?!
In brief, I still consider cloud computing a research topic with some flowers borne but still not the whole garden :)
