Amazon Web Services Blog: Taking Massive Distributed Computing to the Common Man - Hadoop on Amazon EC2/S3: "Everyday, I hear new stories about running Hadoop on EC2. For example, The New York Times used 100 Amazon EC2 instances and a Hadoop application to process 4TB of raw image TIFF data (stored in S3) into 1.1 million finished PDFs in the space of 24 hours at a computation cost of just $240. It not only makes massive distributed processing easy but also makes it headache-free.
Whether it is Startup companies or University Classrooms in UCSB, BYU, Stanford or even enterprise companies, its just amazing to see every new story that is utilizing Hadoop on Amazon EC2/S3 in innovative ways.
That’s what I love about Amazon Web Services - a common man with just a credit card can afford to think about massive distributed computing and compete with the rest and emerge to the top."
