Amazon EC2 in Full Production

By Werner Vogels on October 23, 2008 5:30 AM | | Comments (4)

Congratulations to the Amazon EC2 team for the hard work to get to the point where the beta tag is removed from the service and it is now in full production. Not only that, but there now is an SLA, and Microsoft Windows and SQL Server are available as of today.

More details on the Amazon EC2 product page and on the Amazon Web Services weblog. Also, it's becoming a tradition for the folks at Rightscale to have a detailed posting on the new features.

How does the Windows Licensing work? I didn't see any mention of it on the Windows page or in the FAQ? Are you required to be responsible for your own Windows licenses or does the cost of running the image include the Windows license?

Thanks,
Bryan
