An Introduction to Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing
Chris G. Sellers
Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 6:00 pm
At SRT Solutions, 206 South Fifth Ave, Downtown Ann Arbor

EC2 (http://www.amazonaws.com/) is a buzzword cloud computing model.  Amazon hosts servers running Linux that allow you to fire off virtual systems quickly and easily and you pay per hour.   This model has taken the hosting industry and added a whole new aspect to it; creating a rich and easy environment for developers to stand up servers to test their applications quickly and easily, and then tear them down when not needed, saving ongoing costs.

Why use EC2?  What about backups?  Can I run Windows?  Can I see it in action?   Stop by and get some answers and ask your own questions.
