Cool. We're galaxies away from the days of (slowly) loading Linux on
(usually surplus) gear using 20 or so (rawrite created) 1.44MB
floppies :-P. Good times.
Not sure if this has hit PLUGer's screens yet:
"IBM Software Available on EC2 With Pay-As-You-Go Licensing Model"
http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2009/02/ibm-software-now-available-on-payasyougo-basis.html
<snip from above>
We've teamed up with IBM to provide software developers with
pay-as-you-go access to development and production versions of IBM
Information Management database servers, IBM Lotus(R) content
management, and IBM WebSphere(R) portal and middleware products, all
running on Novell's SUSE Linux on Amazon EC2.</snip>
Now if only the price could drop by a good factor... Maybe an economy
subscriber model for only 90% uptime instead of 4-Nines :-).
ymmv,
C.G.
