The cool thing about aws with a few clicks i can go from micro instance to a cloud cluster instance, amazing power.

again what makes these so powerful is the ability to with a few clicks take on traffic from a 1000 hits a day to 10s of millions of hits a day. Of cource You will also go from $20.00 a month to $20,000.00 a month.
