>From the Amazon Web Services blog. The existing state of the art in cloud-based architectures takes the shape of an application running in the cloud, calling upon services running within and provided by the operator of the cloud. There are any number of great examples of this type of architecture.
Applications communicating with each other inside of the Amazon cloud enjoy some important benefits. They get high-bandwidth, low-latency communication, at little or no cost. They inherit all of the other attributes of cloud-based applications such as on-demand scalability, fault tolerance, cloud-wide network security, and cost efficiency. Applications running in loosely coupled fashion within the cloud can share data using SQS, S3, or other communication protocols of their choosing.
