Comment on Comparing Amazon EC2 to Joyent SmartOSparent

Comments

I have been asking, and wondering why would anyone want to use AWS

It's dead-simple to get started.

It's widely known. I can convince my CTO to use Amazon for cloud-hosting. He's never heard of Rackspace or Joylent - people who are serious about running their infrastructure on the cloud will research and know about them but for quick experimenting and companies just getting their feet wet, Amazon has a big edge here.
