| Amazon's RDS service is similar to EC2 except that it is completely focused on providing MySQL 5.1 compliant servers. You pay an hourly rate which is slightly higher but similar to the EC2 rate to run a fully configured and managed MySQL 5.1 server. Additionally you pay a monthly fee for the database storage associated with the server. Included in the cost is a nightly backup with single day retention. Multiple day retention is available but may cost extra (depends on storage requirements). For my tests I used a basic machine with 5gb of persistent storage. | Amazon's RDS service is similar to EC2 except that it is completely focused on providing MySQL 5.1 compliant servers.

| - | Amazon's EBS service allows customers to buy the equivalent of a raided disk system and attach it to a running EC2 server. Disk sizes range from 5gb to 1tb. They claim that reliability is 10 times that of a standard raid disk system but the details are a bit sketchy. If additional reliability is required the EBS can be backed up to your S3 account. The advantage of EBS over S3 is that EBS can be formatted to act just like a local hard disk. I did not test this product as I didn't need persistent storage for the tests. | + | Amazon's EBS service allows customers to buy the equivalent of a raided disk system and attach it to a running EC2 server.
