Hi!
I don't think $100 worth of amazon credits is
really worth any one of us
spending much time on it, given the cost of amazon services (it looks like
it'd be two months worth).
I am not sure where are you looking at costs? Micro instance is $0.025
per Hour, that is 4000 hours which is a bit more than 5 months.
$20 dollars per month seems expensive for you? Depending how they
behave, I would say.
So the only reason to use it that I can see would be
if we're going
to create an image/script/guide to make it easy for others to use
amazon, and I don't want to encourage that.
Why not? What is wrong with Amazon?
I think, if look globally, for mesh networks in general, having a
turnkey solution is something which can help bootstrapping the networks.
They can move later on away from Amazon, but starting there I think is
an easy solution.
