Amazon Plans To Bring Cloud Solution To Windows Operating System

Amazon has unveiled plans for adding support for Windows and SQL Server code in its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service.

The EC2 is a cloud computing service that aims to enable scalable deployment of applications in an elastic manner by allowing people to create and terminate virtual server instances on demand.

This move will allow user to seamlessly run SQL Server and ASP.Net code within the EC2 platform and will also allow them to control EC2 systems through the Remote Desktop software of Windows.

Already there is a talk of intense competition in the cloud computing space with Microsoft disclosing its intention of launching a Windows Cloud operating system in near future.

Amazon though clearly has a head start and this move to extend support to Windows code is likely to keep it ahead in this domain till the time Microsoft gets its act together.
