Everytime I look at EC2 pricing I think to myself.. how can they possibly make this any more complicated? Amazon could benefit from making their price model much simpler.

The main thing that kills the viability of Amazon is honestly the bandwidth pricing. If you push 1TB, you might as well buy a dedicated server.

What do you think of Amazon's latest pricing? - http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/effective-april-2014/.

+1 for Amazon. I was going to suggest consider using a GPU also, depending on the calculation.

This. If you have the capacity to do this, go for it. Amazon is a very popular platform for computations and researchers who don't need a dedicated cluster.

I got an email months ago about this price reduction from Amazon.

NSA probably gave even more incentives (due to Edward Snowden leaks) to Google, Microsoft and Amazon so that more users will go up the cheap bait.

There has to be someone out there in the lowend community that provides something similar to the Amazon workspaces.

Everyone knows you have to setup redundancy and EDIS offers a lot of locations at a low price, if your uptime is very important, you either pay for amazon uptime or setup redundancy, the latter being

Amazon has pretty good prices on certain hardware to.

So today out of the blue I got a package with an Amazon prime tape holding the box closed, and I knew I didn't order anything recently....

Keepass (also saves my SSH/Git keys) - backed up to Amazon's S3 every save.

do not stay up all the time, including google or amazon, you know you need to setup redundancy if you need 100% uptime, you know that, even so, a major carrier failing, it will not be up 100%, more l

amazon seems pretty good for me
