The service promises a host of user-friendly features and attractive commercial proposition, including charging based on per-minute-billing.
Srikanth Belwadi, product manager of Google’s Cloud Platform in a blog post earlier this week said that "Wowza Streaming Engine software running on Cloud Platform enables you to stream high-quality, live and on-demand content to users anywhere in the world from Google’s reliable network. Using this cloud-native setup, your content streams are powered by Google’s high-performance virtual machines, automatically taking advantage of fast VM provisioning and global load balancing. "
