Pricing Options for Additional Resources

According to Pete and Paul, one of the largest feature requests for Google App Engine was the ability to purchase additional computing resources. If you aren't aware, currently App Engine (a developer tool that enables you to run your web applications on Google's infrastructure) provides free access to persistent storage of up to 500 MB and enough bandwidth for about 5 million page views a month.

Currently there is no ability for developers to purchase additional resources. But towards the end of the year, developers will be able to purchase more resources at the following pricing:

* $0.10 - $0.12 per CPU core-hour
* $0.15 - $0.18 per GB-month of storage
* $0.11 - $0.13 per GB outgoing bandwidth
* $0.09 - $0.11 per GB incoming bandwidth

This pricing does seem competitive with similar offerings from Amazon Web Services.
