Sweet.   For a lot of companies EC2 was not viable due to high memory requirements of some of the applications. Splitting up such tasks to use less memory on multiple servers was possible, but not really cost and time efficient. The release of new types of instances removes that road block and would probably invoke significant curiosity from memory crunching application developers. $0.10 - Small Instance (Default) 1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 Compute Unit), 160 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform $0.40 - Large Instance 7.5 GB of memory, 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 850 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform $0.80 - Extra Large Instance 15 GB of memory, 8 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 1690 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platfor
