I think this will be once piece of many, however having using EC2 and experienced their support (which is great) it will take something for me to move over to Google. With Google their support has been less than great and if this filtered into this kind of product then I wouldn't use them. AWS have been pioneering and I'd stick with them if they continue to improve and innovate
on top of that I don't have a lot of confidence that google won't taketh away should it suit them (they have done so before). Amazon are more clear in that those types of services are the future of their business.
The decision to open up BigTable would seem to mark Google’s challenge to Amazon Web Services (AWS) suite, which also includes the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for cloud processing power and Simple Storage Service (S3) for cloud storage.
About time. I'm really surprised how long AWS has been around without a sign of competition from Google. Cloud computing was supposed to be their big thing...
