Clouds are aimed at enterprise computing. As an example, a project I worked
on recently was almost cancelled because the time and cost to purchase,
install, and switch on the hardware exceeded the time and cost to code the
software (3 months for a team of 5). Software development has become much

As our cluster ages, we're considering using EC2 instead. Particularly,
we'd probably start with an image like:
