Red Hat makes Amazon largest Virtual Server provider... ever

I'm actually just guessing about that. It's probably impossible to compare the newly announced capability to host Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon's Elastic Computing Cloud service with existing, more conventionally provisioned virtual server providers. Still, when you think about the capacity of Amazon's backend, you have to imagine that it's capable of putting, say, Godaddy, on the floor in terms of sheer computational capacity.

Edit 11/15/07: The server seems to have truncated the remainder of this article at some point and I don't have a backup copy, but as I recall there were some some extremely witty and insightful bits about what a brilliant move this is for both Amazon and redhatlinks and how this is a real chocolate and peanut butter moment for the two, putting a standardized, easily deployed server system on top of an enormously computationally powerful backend... you know, the more that I think about it, the madder I am getting about the article getting eaten and my own failure to back it up. I'll probably re-write and repost soon.
