Amazon EC2 cloud computing

[g3020910]

Dear all,

Have heard so much about it, but how do we go about using Amazon EC2? Is it a real hassle to set up? Is the cost worth it? How is it compared with x10hosting?

Hoping anyone with experience, positive or negative, with Amazon Cloud Computing can share.

Thanks for your comments, vv.bbcc19. But was actually hoping that someone could share from their experience of having used the service. For instance: for the price paid, are the benefits worth it?

How does it compare with x10 e.g. in terms of speed of the application, flexibility, ease of setup and use, etc...

I personally have never used it but it is a highly scalable vps essentially. Thats not to say it operates anything like a vps but you can do similar things with it. It is a bit more expensive than an x10vps so you pay a little bit of a premium for the redundancy and scalability of the platform. If its worth the price depends on what you want to do with it. Personally I have been fine with my vps for anything that I have ever needed.
