I wish Google had a better version for AppEngine. One click provisioning and integration with Apps domains for authentication and user info with a SaaS style payment processing built in.

One advantage of the image-based model of the AWS marketplace is that you can support nearly any type of product and multiple operating systems, so you can adapt existing products rather than have to write your app specifically for AppEngine

They have a Google Apps Marketplace: https://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/

A bit different. What I would like to do is instead of provisioning users on my own appengine instances, give them a button where they can sign in with their own Google accounts and deploy the same code to their own instances, where they can then take care of their own billing, integrate with their own users, etc.

Add to that a way to customize the price so that in addition to the appengine billing the developer gets an extra $x per month for app licensing

Edit: for those interested, there is more info in this Issue : http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=58...

It has been acknowledged and given a priority of medium. Hopefully that Amazon announcement will prompt something more out of them.

I requested this in the group last year: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_threa...

if anybody else is interested in this please star the issue

Google Apps Marketplace is for Google Apps -- customizable versions of various Google products. Nothing to do with App Engine.
