Congratulations to the Amazon EC2 team for the hard work to get to the point where the beta tag is removed from the service and it is now in full production. Not only that, but there now is an SLA, and Microsoft Windows and SQL Server are available as of today.

More details on the Amazon EC2 product page and on the Amazon Web Services weblog. Also, it's becoming a tradition for the folks at Rightscale to have a detailed posting on the new features.
