Google on Tuesday announced a dashboard to detail system status for the Google App Engine.

On the Google App Engine blog, the company said that it has launched the App Engine system status site and a quota dashboard to detail items like bandwidth usage and CPU. Google said it also plans a billing dashboard to preview what happens if you go beyond those quotas.

The move is the latest by a cloud provider to improve transparency in the event of an outage.
