I didn't mean to imply that it would be exactly like AdWords, but only that it appears likely to share some similarities. Sorry for any confusion. @Anonymous: That’s actually what I meant by “AdWords-like” — users will apparently be able to set a daily budget and allocate that on a granular level across bandwidth, CPU, and storage.

The screen grabs only appears to show that that the users are able to set a daily budget and allows you to alocate that budget to resources like CPU hours, bandwidth and diskspace. It really make more sense to bid out the resource, since it'd scale better to system demands -- but I just don't see any proof of this approach in the info released by Google. Thanks!!! @Josh Catone — RE: “AdWords-like pricing system”

Here’s a link to what appears to be the source for your reference to a AdWords like pricing system:

Suddenly Google's acquisition of Jaiku makes a whole lot more sense. This is really exciting stuff. Suddenly Google’s acquisition of Jaiku makes a whole lot more sense.
