Amazon.com's EC2, Part One
I first wrote about Amazon.com's EC2 Service many months ago, when it was first released. I had promised to update my readers on its stability and capabilities at a later date. Today is that day.We are currently developing an application which needs a lot of "go-juice" - plenty of computing power to crunch a lot of numbers. Although we could buy physical servers to handle the increasing load on our software service, this will require us to spend money - a significant capital expenditure. As an alternative, we are researching the possibilities afforded us by using Amazon.com's significantly cheaper virtual servers, and expand onto their Grid.
Each server, when run 24x7 throughout the month, is less than $80.
