> I have decided to post out news as it breaks from Amazon for those who may be interested. Hopefully those of you who have subscribed to this group will find it interesting.
> 
> Big news, Amazon have finally released the Small instance as 64 bit!
> In addition they have released a new medium instance which fits in between the large instance price and the small instance price quite neatly.
> 
> The reason that this is big news is that previously for 64bit (and lets face it, everything should be 64bit by now) test and dev environments there was only a choice of Micro (613Mb of RAM which is pretty much useless for anything really) and Large, which is pretty pricy.

> Small Instance – default*

> 1.7 GB memory
> 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 Compute Unit)
> 160 GB instance storage
> 32-bit or 64-bit platform
> I/O Performance: Moderate
> API name: m1.small
> 
> Medium Instance
> 
> 3.75 GB memory
> 2 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 2 EC2 Compute Unit)
> 410 GB instance storage
> 32-bit or 64-bit platform
> I/O Performance: Moderate
> API name: m1.medium
> 
> Large Instance
> 
> 7.5 GB memory
> 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each)
> 850 GB instance storage
> 64-bit platform
> I/O Performance: High
> API name: m1.large

> As you can see the choice for dev & test is now very reasonable.
