I was invited to a limited beta of Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud). Sounds pretty cool. Like the storage service, it costs a minimal amount of money.
Just as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) enables storage in the cloud, Amazon EC2 enables "compute" in the cloud.
Wouldn't be the first time I'm invited to a U.S. only beta. I doubt I'll have time to give it a spin.
