Werner Vogels did an on-stage interview recently at the Kings of Code conference in Amsterdam. A question from the audience was: "Does the Amazon shopping site run on AWS as well or on a more private/shielded AWS-cloud?". Werner answered th

I believe some companies have made agreements with Twitter which allows them to use Twitter in their name. I don't think Twitter does this anymore.

Does this include Apple's revenue share deals with the operators or is it just phone sales?

Sorry, I meant the IAM Management Console. Any chance this will be released soon?

EBS costs $0.10 per GB and $0.10 per million I/O requests. Any ideas how much it would cost per month to replace a "normal" AMI (which is free) with an EBS-backed one like this?
