I am not sure how to calculate the payment per month. Do I pay only for the time someone makes a request? For example, I have a user who requests a certain report and it takes 1 second to load the report request form, then 20 seconds to produce the report and print it. I understand that I pay for 21 seconds? So if I have 100 customers doing the same thing each day, I pay for 35 minutes (2100 seconds)?
It seems to be very cheap. -- Ori Idan > > On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Gadi Cohen <dra...@wastelands.net> wrote: > >> On 12/08/2010 00:00, Maxim Veksler wrote: >> > Are you familiar with EC2 cc1.4xlarge instance type ? >> > >> > http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ >> >> Not really...
