I think James had to explicitly let it thru since I guess I had too many urls in there.

I might like to try this cloud malarkey out as cheaply as possible for a simple web-based app with a bit of spatial functionality (just simple query functions like MBR/polygon contains/intersects/buffer etc). Anybody know if PostgreSQL/PostGIS are running in the “cloud” yet?

I would like to add that while PostgreSQL/PostGIS don’t make a big whoop-di-do about running in the cloud, reports suggest they can too

I would think that would be more appropriate for ArcGIS 9.3 users trying to save a wad of cash than Oracle or MySQL.

It will be interesting to see how far Oracle is willing to go so that they can join the Party in the Cloud.
I think that this could be a big if not huge asset to AWS and the cloud computing community.

Their Linux version could probably be made to run on EC2 with a little bit of work.
