The most basic question here is how Google can justify the costs they are having with providing dedicated IP V4 addresses. In one of the Google IO sessions got mentioned that it would cost them a lot of money to provide dedicated IP's, therefore $99 would be a reasonable price tag ..?!
Come on - have a look at EC2. What do you pay there per dedicated IP address? Right, zero! They won't event charge you additional fees for running SSL traffic through their ELB load balancers. It's the same costs, HTTP or HTTPS don't matter. And when it comes to additional IP's, here's what's the 'industry standard' costs are: $0.005 per additional Elastic IP address associated with a running instance per hour on a pro rata basis That's right, max $ 3.72 per month. Give me a break, but as long as the VIP costs aren't lowered to industry standard prices I have no intentions in moving any of my EC2 user facing frontend stuff over to App Engine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
