So how is it fundamentally different from what they had before - the Compute Engine, App Engine, BigQuery, Prediction API, etc?

  "Cloud Platform Live" is an event focussed on Google Cloud Platform, the umbrella brand which includes as products things like Google Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud SQL, Datastore, etc.

    That didn't explain anything.

With the Managed VM and Container Engine releases today, is there now a way for frontend Python GAE apps and backend Java GAE/GCE apps to share the same development server (esp datastore, taskqueue)?
- Goranek 12y ago
  This was already possible by using multiple modules within a single project. Each module can be written in a different language and all modules use same datastore, taskqueue, etc.

    Right, but AFAIK there is no way for Java and Python code to access/share the same local development server. Is there a way to do this?
    - Goranek 12y ago
      Oh, sorry missed that "development" part. I'm afraid it's not possible. When it comes to managed vms, python local dev server is still not available(java is), so there is no way to know if using same local server will be possible.

        I just asked this in #google-containers IRC channel, and ~isdal chimed in to say this is now possible -- "The new gcloud SDK allows you to run multiple docker containers at the same time with all of them sharing the same datastore (and other APIs".
