    How long before somone works out how to run a secondary market on this?

    Amazon EC2 Spot Instances

    Spot Instances are a new way to purchase and consume Amazon EC2 Instances. They allow customers to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances for as long as their bid exceeds the current Spot Price. The Spot Price changes periodically based on supply and demand, and customers whose bids meet or exceed it gain access to the available Spot Instances. Spot Instances are complementary to On-Demand Instances and Reserved Instances, providing another option for obtaining compute capacity.

    Our competitor had their index processing delayed this month because (according to them) EC2 did not have instances to rent out even though they are renting them full time paying $$$ for it.

    So much for the cloud

    Meanwhile we are getting more servers
