Hi!

  PCI compliance is way more complex than simply passing the port-scan and 
automated tests. I don't recall all the details, but you have to answer a 
self-assessement form, and in that form I think they ask some stuff that can't 
be answered "Yes" if you are using Amazon (or any other cloud service).

  On the other hand, some of those questions have a very vague interpretation, 
and others are just plain stupid (like asking if you have an anti-virus 
installed on all your company computers, or asking if you have a proper 
configured firewall, whatever that means). I'm not defending PCI here, just 
saying you can get burned.

  Yours
