Amazon EC2 is fantastic

Do you know amazon EC2?

You are one of this guys that thinks about “cloud” all the time?

Whell.. I got say that at last 1-2 years before the “cloud” computing appears, amazon was thinking about “Elastic” and doing it.

Amazon Ec2 servers, can scale your project in minutes, automatically based on parameters that you can define, and scale it by code, using amazon Ec2 API.

If you think I’m getting some money from amazon to talk about it, I’m sorry, but I’m not.

The question is that I already worked into a project with amazon EC2 as our servers, and the result is fantastic.

It’s really fast to scale, in minutes we could have more than 20 instances up, with hard CPU or Memory, just the way we wants.

We has a script that checked the parameters, and based on this parameters, he started and stoped instances.

If you never gave a chance to amazon EC2, I guess you should start thinking about it… it’s cheap!
