Specifically, you can create and shut down server instances through the EC2 API. This allows you to programmatically scale your web application from zero to any number of servers based on necessity (if you got techcrunched, for instance, you’d probably need a lot) and you only pay for what you use. If you’re interested in more details about EC2 scaling, check out Dusty’s presentation.

Probably the best overall business/technical presentation I have seen on cloud computer and EC2, including some live presenations I have heard. You did a nice balance of providing just enough technical information to make it relevant to an IT organization while keeping it organized such that a business person can understand the basic message. Well done. Kevin Dusty,
