Amazon EC2 Hosting Killer Comes to Europe

Amazon EC2 virtual hosting (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) was not officially available at European data centers, unlike S3. Now Amazon Web Services has officially announced the "transition of EC2 across the Atlantic."

Amazon EC2 is a very convenient service for hosting Web 2.0 projects, along with its “brother” Amazon S3, which is engaged in file storage. A unique feature of hosting is that you can at any time add or delete resources that are allocated to the hosting of your project to dynamically adjust to the load. For example, at night to assign a weak load, and during the day - above. Due to this, great savings are achieved compared to conventional hosting providers: see calculator .

Amazon monitors the load every second and introduced a convenient management interface consisting of four blocks: a management console; load balancing; automatic scaling; cloud monitoring.

Already established prices for the work of European data centers (they are slightly higher than in the US). In terms of functionality, services in Europe and the USA are no different. Europe will soon add virtual hosting not only under Linux, but also under Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server.
