So in addition to the default small instance (1.7 GB of memory, 1 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron/Xeon processor, 160 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform) Amazon now offers large (7.5 GB of memory, 4 processors spec as before, 850 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform) and extra large (15 GB of memory, 8 processors spec as before, 1690 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform) instances.

you need a heavy-weight VM for database processing with two lightweight VMs providing an application server service.
-
It is also worth noting that the costs rise sharply when using the larger VM instances for a 24/7 service - an extra large VM would cost over $7,000/year. However, the same pricing model makes EC2 very good value for both low-capacity web servers or for certain other situations such as batch processing where the service isn't required 24 hours/day, or testing where the service is only required for short elapsed periods of time.

Amazon’s EC2 is the only easy way to put a data center on your credit card.

To summarize, EC2 opens up possibilities for systems that infrequently require a large number of servers, or that may need to dynamically increase or decrease the number of servers in an unpredictable manner. Today, we use it to test large-scale systems such as Data Grids, but tomorrow some of our customers may be using it as their production deployment platform. The industry often refers to EC2 as Software as a Service (SaaS), but it’s more than that – it’s a data center as a service. You too can put a data center on your credit card.
