Managed web app platform Partial match
Elastic Beanstalk maps partly to App Engine, a fully managed platform for web apps. For new apps, Cloud Run is Google's general-purpose managed app platform.
- Beanstalk provisions EC2 instances you can see and access; App Engine standard and Cloud Run hide the servers entirely.
- App Engine flexible runs containers on Compute Engine VMs, closest to Beanstalk's model.
