Amazon has an increasing number of different
instance types:
High Memory
High Cpu
High Performance Computing
Reserved Instances
Spot Pricing of Instances.
Now it has Micro Instances. These are incredibly cheap
at 2 cents an hour($14 a month) for linux servers and they can be autoscaled to create a really cheap scalable infrastructure. I hope Amazon bought more servers!!!
This is going to make it tough for other hosting companies and make it irresistibly cheap for companies instead of buying servers. It will also put pressure on per seat prices of SaaS providers like salesforce.com etc. The latest version of EC2Dream supports the new Micro instance type.
Amazingly it is now possible to run your own ERP, CRM, E-Commerce or Content Management System from $14 a month. Install SugarCRM, Open Bravo, Magento or Alfresco using EC2Dream.
