An illustration of the 'externalities' such an AMI can generate for the wider openSUSE community.... In the thread pointed to below Eric Hammond shows how firing up a Ubuntu desktop AMI allowed him to set up a bittorrent feed for the Ubuntu 8.04 (Herron) download rush...

That may seem inexpensive, but one of the reasons I'm not rushing to switch my Web application deployment to EC2 is that is is not cheap. A minimal installation (which would be a little under-powered in the CPU department for my purposes) is $0.10 per unit-hour. That's $72 / month if run continuously. Realistically, I'd need the mid-range machine configuration, which costs twice as much!
