Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
August 24th, 2006 • Entrepreneurship + Startups, Technology
Wow! Amazon released a beta service allowing for shared computing time this morning. The service, dubbed the Elastic Compute Cloud, works in conjunction with Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3). I’ve signed up for an account and I’ll provide more details once I get a chance. At first blush though, this is great for people wanting to build computing intensive startups without having to spend money for infrastructure on the front end.
