Hello Adam,

There is a site I developed and deployed on the Amazon EC ^2 cluster some time back nairobi.sciencehackday.com. It is a django app. I was and still is mostly concerned with its administration. You can talk to Morris Mwanga (cc'd) for more information on billing, pricing and other interests.

Hello,

Some of you may know that I'm contemplating the deployment of a cloud services product physically located in Nairobi but using OpenStack so that devops people can use standard APIs.  Physically locating the machines in Kenya should improve latency and perceived uptime (due to cable cuts not affecting connectivity) and make life easier for developers, administrators and users ... but I wanted to validate that with people on this list.

Is anybody already using Amazon Web Services or an OpenStack implementation?

Is anybody using a VPS or similar solution and paying more than $40USD/month?

Would anybody be interested in a product like this with similar pricing to Amazon's (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/)?

If there were free trials, would people spend the time to learn more about how to leverage OpenStack APIs?

Cheers,

Adam
