It sounds like that Devoxx is going to be full of interesting news in the Cloud Computing World.

First of all if you missed it, Amazon just announced support for Amazon EC2 in Europe!

This is really good news as this was something slowing adoption of Cloud Computing in Europe. Many customers needed their servers to be running in Europe.

Their pricing model sounds quite reasonable to, although I really don’t understand why European customers have to pay more than the US customers. Anyway, all they have to work on now is a way to bill in EUR instead of USD. Support for FPS and DevPay with EUR currencies is a must have too.

So congrats to Amazon for that release, and for Sun Network.com initiative, rest in peace (what a pity… this could really have been something interesting if done differently).

This is huge!

Sun is now proposing a whole stack of products/solutions for Amazon EC2.

They are proposing OpenSolaris on Amazon EC2 AMI, but also some MySQL on EC2 solution and support!

This is supposed to be announced at the beginning of JavaOne in one of the keynotes.
Just some good PR before our BoF session on Amazon EC2.
