It's not just Java that's the threat, but the .NET and Ruby PaaS options, too. The point with Google is that it has the monetary means and the mindshare to be a real threat on the Java and Python fronts. It can roll out new services and play the pricing game like many AWS competitors cannot.

Sun might be owned by Oracle, but Java is still quite open...

I develop on a Sun based JDK, deploy it on a IBM JVM, this is why Java is powerful.

I think this article is somewhat of an over dramatization of Google's "threat" to AWS. Not everyone in "enterprise" wants to be pigeon holed into using Java (or Python). There are going to be quite a few use cases whereby legacy enterprise, in order to be wooed to the cloud, is going to want to take their legacy and working investments with them (hence if they've got apps they've already invested into and are maintaining written in C, C++, .NET, C#, VB, Ruby, etc. what motivation is there to spend the time moving to Java). Why does Google over rate Java (which is now in the hands of Larry Ellison's Oracle)?
