Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is out of beta
Amazon has now announced that their Elastic Compute Cloud service is now out of beta.
They have also added beta-level support for Microsoft Windows and SQL Server. Customers are allowed to use their own licenses.
The support for Windows on the service is in the form of 32 and 64-bit Amazon Machine Images (AMI).
The company said in a blog post on this new development: “We are looking forward to seeing how our customers will put Windows to work. We expect to see ASP.Net sites, media transcoding, high performance computing and more. A number of developers who will deploy hybrid web sites using a mix of Linux and Windows servers. This really underscores the open and flexible nature of EC2.”
Amazon is also now providing a new EC2 Service Level Agreement. This provides an uptime guarantee of 99.95 %.
Amazon has also now updated their ElasticFox Firefox extension for EC2. It now comes with added support for Elastic Block Storage and Elastic IP addresses.
