VentureBeat: Amazon Cloud gains Windows, loses beta

  • StanfordStarbucks · 1 year ago
    I read this earlier in Techcrunch.
    Or was it Techdirt?
    Or Techcrud?
    Or ValleyWag?

    Time to consolidate, bloggers. This is herd jouralism at its finest.

    Anthony: Any update on your merger w TC?

    Thanks.

    What did we do to warrant these hate-filled comments?

    While I applaud the SLA and "beta" tag removal, it looks on the surface like AWS wants to compete with it’s most loyal customers - i.e. Rightscale, CohesiveFT, Ylastic, SOASTA and Informascale. Does AWS intend to develop apps a la Google? Is there a business for VARS on the AWS platform? Is there something in the water in Seattle that causes large technology customers to purposely screw their ISVs?

    I dunno, expanding area seems like an obvious move for Amazon, but I am curious to see how those statups respond.

    Anthony,

    Great report on Amazon’s new moves in cloud computing. It is clear that they have a significant following in the development and startup arena. At the end of your report I see you mentioned a few companies that have their eye toward the cloud, but it did not include Terremark. Terremark’s Enterprise Cloud product has been in production for a couple of months with an SLA and support for Windows, Linux, and Solaris. If you have a chance, an overview of The Enterprise Cloud by Terremark can be seen at www.theenterprisecloud.com.
