absolute first thought that popped in my head: holy shit.
second thought: the oreilly ec2 book i bought is now double outdated. first it was elastic IP/availability zones, now this.
edit: rightscale tested it out first-hand.. here are the thoughts from a developer's POV

- listic 19y agoDo you mean this one? "Programming Amazon Web Services: S3, EC2, SQS, FPS, and SimpleDB"(http://tinyurl.com/57gfot http://tinyurl.com/57gfot) Would you still recommend the book?
- PStamatiou 19y agooh yeah it's a great book, the parts I've skimmed over so far.
- ryanmahoski 19y agoI skimmed it too and think PAWS is a tight dev guide for what author Murty calls AWS' "infrastructure services" (read: no Mturk, DevPay, Fulfillment, Associates or Alexa). The 600 pg book celebrates Ruby and the free download is particularly well commented in Python, Java.
- DocSavage 19y agoMy second thought was how great it is that Google joined the scalable web app business. Amazon's pre-announcement strikes me as a counterpunch to Google App Engine frenzy. Hope it comes soon and the cost isn't too much above S3.
