I just starting reading about the Google Cloud Platform and it seems pretty cool and could be quite a cost effective way of hosting small websites for quite cheap on quality hardware, instead of using a dedicated hosting company.

Has anyone used it for this?
It looks like you can use Bitnami to deploy a Wordpress install.

It looks like Bitnami can deploy to AWS and Azure too.

It's a bit different from normal hosting though as you can't connect via FTP, can you? Do you have to host the install locally and deploy it when you want to update it, or how does that work?
Google are currently giving out $300 worth of free credit to be used over 2 months.
