  • mike - Oct 23 2008 | amazon, ec2, windows

    Windows machines are priced 25% higher than Linux machines on EC2 ($91/mo vs. $73/mo for small instances).

    Quoted: Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers a set of services that together form a reliable, scalable, and inexpensive computing platform 'in the cloud'. These pay-as-you-use cloud computing services include Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon SQS, Amazon FPS, and others .

    EC2 just launched Windows support and announced pricing. Summary: Windows instances add 25% to the instance-hours component.

    Quoted: ...
    Standard Instances Linux/UNIX Windows
    Small (Default) $0.10 per hour $0.125 per hour
    Large $0.40 per hour $0.50 per hour
    Extra Large $0.80 per hour $1.00 per hour

      I think this is interesting. Only a 25% premium? Should we be using this to determine the true cost of running Linux?

    • mohit - Oct 24 2008

      It actually works out to less than 25% if you have a bandwidth heavy site since the instance-hours component excludes bandwidth.

      Very good to know. Thanks for the insight.

    Quoted: Starting later this Fall, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) will offer you the ability to run Microsoft Windows Server or Microsoft SQL Server. Today, you can choose from a variety of Unix-based operating systems, and soon you will be able to configure your instances to run the Windows Server operating system. In addition, you will be able to use SQL Server as another option within Amazon EC2 for running relational databases.

    AWS is soon going to have Windows instances available!
