[David Busby <d.busby@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I for one am waiting on my invite to be processed; then I will be looking
at things like aeolus to run hybird cloud setups (I'll be contributing code
to that effect);

That said remember google open compute (as far as I am aware) is not open
source i.e. you can not download the engine and run a private google open
compute cloud.

I am for example using openstack to run internal private clouds; with
multiple end hosting providers (hybird cloud); of which google will be one.

I think the thing to take away is google are a company with vast resources
and the ability to deploy datacentres on a whim (search for their shipping
container dc's); if you have that kind of budget then I cant see any reason
for a similar openstack sized deployment, also if you have that kind of
buget I'll take 2 dc's ... im not greedy ;-)
