Why Google cloud vision auto create many Computer Engine - google-app-engine

My application run normal until now.
But suddenly one service account (used for google cloud vision) create many Computer Engine instances(about 32 instances).
I checked log and see this line.
enter image description here
My billing increase from 10 to 200$/day :(
Anyone help me?

This does not seem normal as the Vision API does not require to create Compute Engine instances to work with. It is possible that your credentials might have been filtered. I suggest you remove the service account that is generating the problem and create a new one. Also you can contact Google Cloud billing support if you need more information on your charges. You can fill this form to get in touch with them.

EC2 , Openstack, Google App Engine (GAE) and REST

I was handed an assignment but I don't know where to start.
The aim is to have 2 piece of code running. One will run in Open stack private cloud and perform the task of indexing two sets of text, with another running in EC2 with the task of matching the two indexed tests.
I want to access them via google app engine.
Ideally, I would like to click a button or perform an action on Google app engine, which then sends a request to Openstack to run the code and retrieve the output of a txt file.
That outputted text files will then be forwarded onto EC2 where the matching will occur and the results sent back to Google App Engine.
My question is, how can I send the files between the systems using REST requests?
FrankN --
EC2, GAE and OpenStack are disparate cloud computing platforms. To integrate them might include, say, using one platform while saving backups to another.
CloudU.Rackspace.com is a vendor-neutral education site about cloud computing (note: It'll take six or so hours to finish it all). This might help.
Disclaimer: I work for Rackspace.
Firstly, not really sure what your requirements are, why your code does or why are you trying to mix cloud providers in that way.
That said, I would suggest taking the upload from GAE and push it to AWS S3 where you can then retrieve and use as you please from EC2.
Not sure what functionality you are trying to get out of OpenStack that is not present in AWS; however, I would suggest building whatever you are building in EC2 first, then duplicate in on OpenStack services to avoid future vendor lock in.

Google Checkout Order Report API -> Google Wallet analog?

I used Google Checkout API for getting subscriptions reports every half an hour.
https://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/reports/Merchant/
(https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_XML_API_Order_Report_API)
Our company have ours support team which provides help for users of application. My script downloaded last purchases every half an hour and stored in DB (time,serialnumber,email). After that support was getting access to this information through our web-interface (thus, we did not give an access (login,pass) for a main Checkout account).
Now Google Checkout was shut down and I don't understand how to do it at Google Wallet. Does anyone now can it provide this functionality or not?
AFAIK there currently is no similar "infrastructure" (reporting, querying, etc, via API like in Google Checkout) for Google Wallet for Digital Goods which, based on your comments, sounds like the product you are looking for (to replace your current Google Checkout implementation) - it's specifically for digital goods and does support subscriptions.
You'd manage orders via Merchant Center.
You will get order data via postbacks so as for ideas - you would need to store order data on your end when you handle the postback/s from Google - for both "placed" and "cancelled".
This would replace how you currently do it via Order Report API in Google Checkout...

How to add more Applications on a single App Engine user account

I have alot of small application back ends and websites running on app engine. I have reached the maximum of 12 apps. I was wondering if there is a way to add more to a single user? Why is the limit 12? Is there a future version of GAE which lets user create more applications? Can i pay to have more on a single user account?
While I'm not sure if you can pay to get more, you can have 10 more from your Google Apps account if you have one. You can then add your personal account in the admins of that app and continue normally.
While this smells like a workaround, it actually make sense, since eventually you are going to deploy your app on it's own domain and you will need to have a Google Apps account in order to achieve that. From there if you have more users for a particular domain, each of them can start up to 10 apps, which of course you (they) can share with more people, so in theory there is no limit :)
You can create a Google Apps account by starting a free trial and after 30 days you can downgrade to a free version if you have only one user. If you have more then you will have to start paying for it (unfortunatelly that was changed recently).

Changing SMS or Mobile Phone Number Associated with Google App Engine Account

I just recently picked up a new number and cell phone plan, and would like to change the SMS or mobile phone number associated with my Google App Engine account, since the number that I initially used to register with was associated with some free texting service online. Alternatively, I would like to completely purge App Engine from my Google account, so that I can at least reregister for App Engine with my new number.
How can I go about enacting these changes? Who do I turn to for assistance with these issues?
Thanks!
Try filling out the SMS issues form and describing your issue in the comments section. If you're unable to see the form, a reply to this pinned Google Groups post about signup issues may receive some attention.

Delete Google App Engine Account

I would like to delete the account I have with Google App Engine since I don't use it and I also would like to stop receiving email from Google regarding this account and policies update and alike.
Is there a way to do this?
UPD:
I raised this issue in google issue tracking system and it has been accepted as a valid feature request. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5745
UPD2:
A nice person from Google offered his help in deleting of my account as soon as I remove any apps I have there. Thanks for that!
A note from Google accouts TOS:
13.2 If you want to terminate your legal agreement with Google, you
may do so by (a) notifying Google at any time and (b) closing your
accounts for all of the Services which you use, where Google has made
this option available to you. Your notice should be sent, in writing,
to Google’s address which is set out at the beginning of these Terms.
By myself I didn't found how one can delete google app Engine account, so it's possible that this is not Services which you use, where Google has made this option available to you. As other option I see is to ask on Googl App Engine community question board, and hope that google moderators read those question.
