Amazon Cloud Computing

[RoyMi6]

I'm looking at amazon cloud storage and computing.

Looking to host a small ASP.Net application that's likely to get a lot of traffic.

Anyone used their Amazon EC2 service before? Easy to setup? Any different from regular .Net hosting? Any pitfalls to look out for?

The decision is kind of out of my hands but I'll have a look into it.

They already have a sister site sitting on AWS so figure it will be easier maintenance for them long run.

EDIT: Actually, looks like EC2 provides a management interface that allows the creation of virtual machines etc. I thought you just bought "one" virtual machine - didn't realise you were getting access to a whole VM control panel as such.
