Amazon has dropped more crumbs in the forest to entice the enterprise to ultimately abandon its own infrastructure for its doubtlessly cheaper public cloud.
It’s making its Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which used to be separate service, a free default.
It said in a blog that the announcement was so important “If you use or plan to use Amazon EC2, you need to read this post!”
Undoubtedly VMware and other cloud merchants won’t care much for this turn of events.
Amazon is starting what it called its EC2-VPC roll-out in its regions in Sydney (Asia-Pacific) and São Paulo (South America). It’ll branch out elsewhere in the next few weeks.
