The pricing model for Amazon EC2 looks attractive from the surface, but when you get down to it — monthly pricing for similar performing hardware can be much cheaper at a dedicated server provider like Softlayer.com. The use of EC2 is climbing, but I am concerned that many of the current uses of EC2 are [...]]]></description>

I tried to do tpcc-mysql benchmark for Amazon RDS. Before do that, did the same test for EC2 small instance.
This is a pretty rough benchmark, but I can say EC2 small instance and RDS small instance have the same performances as CPU and memory are the same spec. RDS is about 30% expensive. (EC2=$0.085, RDS=$0.11/h)

Using EC2 for anything but overflow is silly. The costs are extraordinarily high if you are doing decent volume ( read- if you have more than 3-5 servers )
Bandwidth is ridiculously expensive with them. You can get 3-4x cheaper per megabit going dedicated.
Servers are crazy expensive. Compare the most powerful machine they have vs something [...]]]></description>

I’ve been using the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) for running our web servers at NetCrafters for almost a year now. It’s been an amazing experience and I’ve kept a detailed account of many of the lessons learned.
Amazon Web ServicesThe most recent challenge came when our servers just started locking-up for no reason. The sites [...]]]></description>

Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) is a new type of storage designed specifically for Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS allows you to create volumes that can be mounted as devices by EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes behave as if they were raw unformatted external hard drives and can be formatted using a file system [...]]]></description>

So the problem in a nutshell is I have 10 volumes, each of which is cron’ed to be snapshotted at various times of the day (depends on the specific volume as to how often it is backed up). With 10 volumes, my S3 storage costs can get out of hand quite quickly. So I needed [...]]]></description>

So to sum things up:
c1.medium can serve about 32 requests per second for 0.20$ per hour.
m1.large can serve less than c1.medium, around 24 requests per second for 0.40$ per hour &#8230; not nice 
m1.xlarge can serve 47 requests per second, but it will cost you 0.80$ per hour.
The champion is c1.xlarge can serve 142 requests [...]]]></description>

Amazon Web Services just announced the release of two new instance types for EC2. These new types have 34.2 GB and 68.4 GB of RAM with a decent amount of CPU capacity on modern CPUs to go along with it.
Others have already done a great job of describing the instance types:

We are considering supplementing our engineering lab via the use of cloud services such Amazon’s EC2 or Rackspace’s Cloud Servers.  Currently, we use a large set of VMWare servers to host our QA testing environment, where we perform installations of Zenoss servers as well as setup target systems (Windows, Linux, etc.) to monitor.

    The problem:
    S3 storage protocol is &#8220;all or nothing&#8221; meaning that you can not modify a file on S3 and even for a minor change you have to upload (S3 PUT) the whole file again. This implies that backup and synchronization to S3 are inefficient. Any file modification [...]]]></description>
