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.

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

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?

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

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.
