Google has introduced its "infrastructure-as-a-service" offering during its second-day keynote at the I/O developer conference in San Francisco. Named Google Compute Engine, the product will give businesses and institutions access to the Google datacenter infrastructure to handle large-scale computing tasks, with the ability to scale thousands of Linux virtual machines, in a move that directly competes with Amazon's EC2 and Microsoft's Azure.
