Amazon EC2 Open To All

Posted by kdawson on from the seeding-the-clouds dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Amazon just announced that the beta program for their EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) service is now open to all developers. They have also added new instance types. It appears that you can now get the equivalent of an 8-core machine. Is cloud computing for the masses finally here?"

  1. So that's who owns the Storm virus. by Remus+Shepherd · · Score: 5, Funny

    It all makes perfect sense now. Amazon creates the Storm virus botnet. Then it sells computing space. Anyone who tries to compete with them is shutdown by DDSes from the botnet. Amazon ends up owning the entire internet, and leasing it out for profit with suggestions on books about being a good repressed peasant.

    It's like some bizarre take on DC comic's 'Amazons Attack!', only with slightly more porn.
