Hosting companies, get ready to lose a lot of customers!

http://www.amazon.com/S3

.20 per gig of data TRANSFER + unlimited fully redundant storage on amazons GLOBAL network (load balancing, locally served to your end user improves speed)

1. No need for expensive storage arrays
2. No need for maintenance / man power
3. Pay as you go! No more wasting 100 bucks a month for something like a 1gb minimum

http://www.amazon.com/E2

1. Build a brand new server, or a 1000 new server images in 10 minutes via the web
2. Pay ONLY for computing power
3. Infinite capabilities


This shit is going to ruin a lot of hosting companies and put a HUGE amount of power into the hands of developers... imagine being able to build a YouTube site that can scale overnight to meet any demand without the cost of hardware or man power

CRAZY!

if someone posted this already, fuck you i dont care this shit is awesome
