The New M4 Instance Type (Bonus: Price Reduction on M3 & C4)
We launched Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with a single instance type (m1.small) way back in 2006!

New – AstroCompute in the Cloud Grants Program
The skills and techniques needed to create, store, process, and manage data sets that start in the hundreds of gigabytes and grow to multiple terabyte size are all too rare. It is time to change that! We have teamed up with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to create the new AstroCompute in the Cloud grant […]

Each item stored in Glacier is known as an archive, and can be as large as 40 terabytes. Archives are stored in vaults, each of which can store as many archives as desired. Today we […]
