1100% markup for Red Hat running JBoss on EC2?

Am I reading this wrong? RedHat just announced a program where you can get JBoss App server (free as in beer software) running on an amazon EC2 instance for "$119/month per customer plus $1.21 per hour for every deployed server, plus additional bandwidth and storage fees." Putting aside the $119 and looking at published Amazon EC2 pricing, the $1.21/hr is a 50% markup on the $0.80/hour "Extra large instance", and a 1100% markup on the $0.10/hour "Small Instance", which I'd argue is enough for plenty of deployments. The $119 adds an additional $0.16 an hour. Granted, you do save the costs of hiring someone to make a JBoss AMI for you, but still... amazing. especially when you can run glassfish for free :) --Piren Twill, June 20, 2008 01:52 PM
