I use EC2 for quite a few things. Just a few thoughts... - I don't know if the micro instance (the free one) will be powerful enough to do much mustella testing. It comes with a very limited amount of RAM and CPU... If it does manage to run, I'm sure it will be painful. - The micro instance is free for the first year, assuming you only run one instance at a time. Bandwidth and storage is not free, however. I have a project half the size of Flex on a CI server on EC2, and I usually get a bill of about $29/month, if you don't count the EC2 instance costs. This will be billed to a somebody's credit card.
