Google Compute Engine vs KubeSail: What are the differences?
Developers describe Google Compute Engine as "Run large-scale workloads on virtual machines hosted on Google's infrastructure". Google Compute Engine is a service that provides virtual machines that run on Google infrastructure. Google Compute Engine offers scale, performance, and value that allows you to easily launch large compute clusters on Google's infrastructure. There are no upfront investments and you can run up to thousands of virtual CPUs on a system that has been designed from the ground up to be fast, and to offer strong consistency of performance. On the other hand, KubeSail is detailed as "Cloud hosting as easy as Heroku, as powerful as AWS". Learn, build, and deploy on the Cloud strong enough for enterprises and smart enough for startups. It provides useful and fun tools for iterating and collaborating on Cloud Infrastructure. It empowers ownership and collaboration between hundreds of developers on hundreds of clusters, local & remote, dedicated & shared, Dev & Ops.
Google Compute Engine and KubeSail belong to "Cloud Hosting" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Google Compute Engine are:
- High-performance virtual machines- Compute Engine’s Linux VMs are consistently performant, scalable, highly secure and reliable. Supported distros include Debian and CentOS. You can choose from micro-VMs to large instances.
- Powered by Google’s global network- Create large compute clusters that benefit from strong and consistent cross-machine bandwidth. Connect to machines in other data centers and to other Google services using Google’s private global fiber network.
- (Really) Pay for what you use- Google bills in minute-level increments (with a 10-minute minimum charge), so you don’t pay for unused computing time.
On the other hand, KubeSail provides the following key features:
- Collaborate on infrastructure with your whole team.
- Migrate between Clouds with one click.
- Generous free-tier
