2010-07-13 Thread Jordan H

I agree with most of the below, and would add the following: EC2 is more expensive if you have a static load, or if you don't aggressively manage your pool of VM's. If you aren't using S3, AWS or another amazon service, it's even more expensive. If all you need is a static pool of VM servers, and
