| Oct 14, 2010 at 7:00 | comment | added | Mark | I'm a .NET developer who can't stomach Microsoft's prcing model. Why pay $100/month per site when simple web hosting is so much cheaper? The scaling model and pay-per-use of app engine has made it attractive enough for me to dust off my Java skills. | |
| Feb 18, 2010 at 18:43 | comment | added | Hal | I agree that AWS/EC2 is a perfectly acceptable solution for .Net devs. While I too wish that I could deploy to 2K8, their additional services and pricing are tough to beat. We use SimpleDB, S3 and SQS extensively with a mix of CentOS frontends handling our content needs and backing up to WCF services, balanced using ELB, which feed our enterprise services (behind our firewall) through SQS and SimpleDB. It's a terrific dev platform - IMO. | |
| Jan 10, 2010 at 12:08 | comment | added | Danny Tuppeny | I'm a .NET developer by trade, but the price of using Azure for a website getting 0 hits sent my Google's way. I wrote some comparisons on my blog: blog.dantup.com/2009/12/… blog.dantup.com/2009/12/… | |
| Aug 25, 2009 at 14:24 | comment | added | Richard Dorman | AWS does support .Net developers on their Windows 2003 Server AMI but I suspect a good number of .Net developers would rather be deploying to Windows Server 2008 which has yet to materialise on AWS. If you're a regular on the AWS forums you may have picked up that Amazon is some what quiet on this issue. | |

| Apr 26, 2009 at 22:19 | comment | added | Andrew Arnott | Not all .NET developers should go to Azure. Amazon EC2 is a perfectly acceptable option for them. But +1 for referencing the excellent article. | |
