EC2 Windows Pricing

EC2 Windows定价

The pricing doesn't seem that cheap over colocation of your own server. Is this a revolutionary step towards the obvious future of hosting?

对于您自己的服务器的托管,定价似乎并不便宜。这是朝着明显的托管未来迈出的革命性的一步吗?

Does anyone have any first hand experience using .net on an amazon virtual box?

有人在亚马逊虚拟盒子上使用.net有任何第一手经验吗?

Cheapest pricing btw is 12.5 cents per hour.

最便宜的价格是每小时12.5美分。

This seems very expensive. To be honest I am quite disappointed for several reasons. Firstly they only support Windows 2003 Server. Windows 2008 has been out for long enough that surely they could support that by now. Secondly, they don't mention what version of SQL Server they are supporting but I am guessing it is 2005 as well.

这看起来非常昂贵。说实话,我很遗憾有几个原因。首先,它们仅支持Windows 2003 Server。 Windows 2008已经出现了足够长的时间,他们肯定可以支持它。其次,他们没有提到他们支持的SQL Server版本,但我猜它也是2005。

For a Windows 2003 box with SQL Server Standard installed it will cost $1.10 an hour or about $750 month!!

对于安装了SQL Server Standard的Windows 2003机器,它的价格为每小时1.10美元或约750美元!

I wonder if it is possible to install your own version of SQL 2008.

我想知道是否可以安装自己的SQL 2008版本。

Seems expensive at $180 per full month for just a small SQL Express + IIS box + Authentication. I think the issue is you get billed full rate on partial hours. If they did away with that and let you be billed on per cpu hour consumed or similar then it might be better.

对于一个小的SQL Express + IIS框+身份验证,似乎每个月只需180美元。我认为问题是你会在部分时间内收取全额费用。如果他们取消了这个并让你按照消耗的cpu小时或类似费用计费,那么它可能会更好。

There are cheaper solutions out there such as Mosso or GoGrid which are cheaper and offer similar products.

有更便宜的解决方案,如Mosso或GoGrid更便宜,并提供类似的产品。

However possibly if you already have tight integration with AWS then it would be a goer.

但是,如果您已经与AWS紧密集成,那么它可能会成为一个观众。

Our company has had poor [Linux] production experience with both Mosso and GoGrid.

我们公司在Mosso和GoGrid方面的[Linux]生产经验都不佳。

We plan to give EC2 with Windows a go sometime in the next few months.

我们计划在接下来的几个月内将EC2与Windows一起推出。

I think one thing to keep in mind is that the purpose of a grid solution is to allow you to spin up additional instances as demand and traffic grows. While you could get away with using a grid solution for regular hosting and gain the benefits of reliability (though so far my experience with grid has been anything but) its probably best to look at it from an on-demand perspective.

我认为要记住的一件事是,网格解决方案的目的是允许您随着需求和流量的增长而增加其他实例。虽然您可以使用网格解决方案进行常规托管并获得可靠性的好处(尽管到目前为止我的网格体验已经不过了),但最好从按需角度来看待它。

If EC2/Windows can deliver what Amazon promises it will save my company thousands of dollars monthly in hosting costs.

如果EC2 / Windows可以提供亚马逊承诺的东西,它将为我的公司每月节省数千美元的托管成本。

It is possible to install your own version of SQL, given you have a license for it. Amazon certainly can't stop you from installing whatever software you wish - the built-in SQL server offerings just allow you to use an hourly licensing model for SQL server, which you can't otherwise do directly from Microsoft.

如果您拥有许可证,则可以安装自己的SQL版本。亚马逊肯定无法阻止您安装任何您想要的软件 - 内置的SQL服务器产品只允许您使用SQL服务器的每小时许可模式,否则您无法直接从Microsoft执行此操作。

Remember that you don't actually need to run the Authenticated AMIs unless you're running a system that requires communication of authentication info over the network - like a kerberos (AD) setup. Local accounts work fine with the 'anonymous' versions (up to 5 IIRC). So in a nutshell, the authenticated versions would be more useful if you're running a windows corporate intranet on EC2, but the anonymous are fine for almost any typical use of EC2 or any compute cloud.

请记住,除非您运行的系统需要通过网络传递身份验证信息(例如kerberos(AD)设置),否则您实际上不需要运行经过身份验证的AMI。本地帐户可以使用“匿名”版本(最多5个IIRC)。简而言之,如果您在EC2上运行Windows企业内部网,则经过身份验证的版本会更有用,但匿名对于EC2或任何计算云的几乎任何典型用途都很好。
