- kbenson 13y agoIs that assuming they are replacing all existing hardware with newer models as they become available, or is it based on some reported replacement schedule Amazon has stated? Also, is it based on Moore, or the actual market prices? I would expect their costs are based on the mixture of systems they have in place and for it to go down somewhat similar to the market cost for the component, but with a somewhat large lag time as older systems are phased out and newer ones phased in.
- gtaylor 13y agoYou're paying for a lot more than just the hardware your instance runs on with EC2. You're also indirectly paying for the other systems they make available to you within EC2 (auto-scaling, ELB, EBS, CloudWatch, etc). If you don't need these additional services, AWS is indeed a bad value. If you use a good chunk of them like we do, it's money well spent, though it won't fit neatly into graphs like the previously mentioned one.
