I've been a Rackspace Cloud customer for years, and happily so, but it's this constant drumbeat of innovation and forward momentum at Amazon that makes me seriously reconsider my choice.

I really want to see Rackspace step up its game over the next year, if for no other reason than to keep Amazon on its toes.

Wow! Amazon just keeps getting better and better (and cheaper and cheaper). Hmmm...what are they up to?

perhaps they are trying to counteract the inevitable backlash from the wikileaks story?

Somehow I doubt they had this plan "on standby" in case of some controversy.

On topic - This combined with the free year of a micro instance will allow you to put a proof of concept together for only the cost of your time.

Strictly speaking, the monitoring isn't essential to put a proof of concept together. It's nice, yes, but not essential.
