Amazon Beefs Up Its Cloud Ahead of MS Announcement

Posted by kdawson on from the hey-you-get-offa-my dept.

Amazon has announced several major improvements to its EC2 service for cloud computing. The service is now in production (no longer beta); it offers a service-level agreement; and Windows and SQL Server are available in beta form. ZDNet points out that all this news is intended to take some wind out of Microsoft's sails as MS is expected to introduce its own cloud services next week at its Professional Developers Conference.

    Replace "cloud" with "mainframe" and take 40 years off your age, and then you pretty much have it, as is my understanding.
