Running an application in the cloud is kind of like flying business class across the PacificOcean between Australia and the United States. You are vaguely aware that you aregoing really fast inside of a highly complex device that you barely understand. Thepilots， crew， maintenance people， chefs， logistics staff， traffic controllers， and gateagents all are making sure that your trip happens efficiently and comfortably——and thatit is uneventful. All you know is that you sit in a recliner， watch a movie， eat a nice filetmignon， have a glass of red wine， lay the seat fiat， sleep for a few hours， and wake uprefreshed on a different continent.
Why You Really Want to Run in the Cloud
You might initially think that you dont want to run in the Google cloud because youwant to make your own decisions and control your own destiny. You might want torun your own servers in your own facility and make all the decisions about your ap-plication. Perhaps you just like walking into a server room and seeing the hardwarethat is running the application. Although this sense of control might sound appealingat first， it is really just a lot of trouble and energy that does not advance the cause ofyourapplication. Here are a few of the things that you have to worry about when yourun on your own servers： what operating system should I run？ What version of theoperating system is the most reliable？ When do I apply vendor patches （especially thosepesky security patches）？ How do I protect my system from intruders？ Do I need afirewall to protect my servers？ How do I monitor my servers to detect when an intrusionhappens and then how do I get notified？ How far do I have to drive to the server roomto reformat and reinstall the software at 4：00 a.m. so that it is back up by 10：00 a.m.？What database do I run？ What version？ What patches？ Should I upgrade the memoryof my database server， or should I add an additional disk to the RAID controller？ CanI use a single database server， or do I need to cluster several database servers？ How doesthe clustered database server get backed up？ How long does it take to restore mydatabase when there is a hardware problem with the database servers disk drives？ Howmany application web servers do I need？ I know that my applications peak usage isfrom 7：00 p.m. to 9：00 p.m. each day. Do I buy enough hardware to handle that peakload， or do I buy a little less hardware and just let the servers slow down a bit duringthe 7：00 p.m. to 9：00 p.m. period？ If my application is so popular that it is used bothin the United States and Europe， do I need to find a data center in Europe and put somehardware in Europe so that all the European users see a quick response time？ Whenshould I upgrade my hardware？ Should I add more hardware and keep the old hardwareor simply pitch the old hardware and install all new hardware？ How much energy doesmy hardware take？ Is there a way to reduce the energy footprint of my hardware？

　　The greatest single reason that the World Wide Web has been so widely used andadopted is because individuals are allowed to participate in the Web. People can pro-duce web Content and create a MySpace page or home pages provided by their schoolor organization and contribute their creativity and content to the Web. Free serviceslike Blogger， Flickr， Google Sites， Google Groups， and others have given us all an outletfor our creativity and presence on the Web——at no charge.
　　For most of the life of the Web， if you wanted to have your own rich software-backedwebsite with data storage， your only choice was to purchase hosting services from anInternet Service Provider （ISP） and learn database management and a programminglanguage like PHP to build or run your software. Learning and paying for this muchtechnology was just beyond the reach of most web users， who simply had to accept thelimited features of MySpace， Blogger， or whatever system hosted their web content.In April 2008， Google announced a product called App Engine. When you write aprogram for the Web that runs on App Engine， your software runs on the Google serverssomewhere in the Google "cloud." It is as if you are a Google employee and you haveaccess to the entire scalable Google infrastructure. App Engine captures much of Goo-gles experience of building fast， reliable， and scalable websites， and through App En-gine， Google is revealing many of the secrets about how its own applications scale to millions of users.
　　The most exciting part of the Google App Engine announcement is the fact that it isfree for moderate levels of use. Every person with a Gmail account can have a numberof free applications running on the Google infrastructure. If your application becomesextremely popular and your traffic goes above the allowed levels of the free account，you can pay to use more of Googles resources. As your appli~：ation scales， Googleengineers and operations staff take care of all the hardware， data storage， backup， andnetwork provisioning for you.
