Hi, coming back to work a bit with AWS, I am wondering what happened to this thread and the associated software? Is someone still using it? As far as I can see, there results were not merged with JBT. (a pity) (If I look at the current AWS pricing, today, a micro instance (spot) is about 0.006 USD, i.e., renting 100 for an hour would be just $0.6 ;-) or more than 150 for a USD/hour.. My experience so far, is the micro instances are not very powerful, but they might have the best cost-benefit for massive parallel problems.. Alternatively: Eight Extra Large 88 EC2 Compute Units (eight-core 2 x Intel Xeon) cost $0,54 (spot price at time of writing) One or two of them would also form a powerfull possibility.. (at the time of the thread start above less than half the power did cost $1.60 ... and was already twice as fast as the computing reference above..) For bursts the the micro instances have 2 EC2, meaning for $0.54 this would be about 180 EC2. - However, I am not sure about AWS definition of "short burst".. i.e., wether this is seconds or minutes. Moreover, this would require significant autoscaling and automated load distribution..
