  Quoted: EC2 lets you host your web site on Amazon.com’s servers. The service makes it look like your application is running on your own cluster of dedicated physical servers, when in fact these servers are being simulated using CPU virtualization technology.

  You just upload a hard disk image to Amazon, and then you can add and remove virtual servers running that disk image as you need them to meet the demands your site’s traffic. And best of all, they cost a lot less to run than real, physical servers!

  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
• Sigalon - Nov 15 2006 | Virtual Computing, Amazon EC2

  Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to requisition machines for use, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network's access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire.

  Pretty interesting scalable service where you can instantly get an many virtual compute clusters as you need, on a time varying basis.

    Would be useful for building a web crawler without a big up front investment.

  Woooo grid computing.

  Quoted: Just as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) enables storage in the cloud, Amazon EC2 enables "compute" in the cloud. Amazon EC2's simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon's proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use.
