What is the difference between Windows Azure and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud?

Azure is a service that allows you to upload an application - the cloud system will then run it on an arbitrary number of physical machines in order to provide reliability and capacity. This is done largely transparently to your code. Billing is done on the basis of number of requests/data transfered/etc.

Had to do more research and correct previous response. They both support application and databases in a cloud. Amazon is also offering the ability to run Windows Server and SQL Server.

Microsoft offers SQL Server in the form of SQL Azure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
