Hi Just a general question. How much is the cost of using the cloud on amazon, it says "pay-as-you-use". Can somebody give me a figure?

Hi Lizex, Here is a calculator http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html where you can estimate what it will cost. Usually it is spoken about CPU instance hours, that what is your main cost. For this kind of cost, when you are not running the instances, does not costs to you. But stationary data, the stored data on S3 or EBS volumes it costs you even in the time when you are not running any instances. It depends on the use-case how you manage your data growth, it will shape your costs. Cheers, Tibor On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 11:22 AM, Lizex Husselmann <husselmannl@arc.agric.za <="" div="">

Hi Lizex, The AWS pricing page has the prices for consuming their cloud resources: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing As the model suggests, the total price will depend on your usage - at the minimum, you'll need 1 instance for the duration of your computation and an EBS volume to hold your data.
