From [1]:
Heavy Utilization Reserved Instance (medium size) on a 3 year contract
would mean something like $600 up front and $0.066 per hour. If we run
once a day, and it takes 12 hours to run (guessing here), that would
mean 3*365*12*0.066 = ~ $870. So running the thing for 3 years would
take something like $1500.
Are there any other costs that this page is neatly hiding (data
transfer, access)?
If we do a Wikipedia style drive for funds, we should be able to get
that kind of money together, couldn't we?

Anyone with experience care to make a guess what a sufficiently
powerful instance would cost per month? I for one would be willing to
donate a couple of dollars (at least) per month to see this happen,
and I'm sure more people will feel the same way...

Well I spoke with
Toan Nguyen
Enterprise Sales Manager
I have no idea if there is anyone we should better contact.
All I did was fill out the form on the AWS Sales site. He was the one
responding to this and this morning we spoke a few minutes.
To me it looked as if Amazon wasn't really willing to provide Medium
Windows instances free of charge. He claimed that Amazon couldn't go around
giveing away free nodes to everyone (At least this was the essence of what
he told me).
Eventaully someone else might think differently.

Betreff: Re: Mustella on Amazon EC2
Did you speak to anyone with authority there, or was it just a canned
response?
If anyone has a real contact at AWS, the answer might be different. I
can't imagine it costs them very much to donate some resources to Apache
Flex… Anyone have a contact there?
I personally use AWS, but not on the scale that I have any real pull…

Well unfortunately I don't have good news :-( just tasked to them and
it seems they don't want to do more than give us their 1 year free offer.
Unfortunately that doesn't cover windows and medium sized instances.
I think a CI nightly build is essential for getting a stable trunk.
Especially with more and more people contributing and not ruining the
entire test suite.

Chris,
You are awesome! I never thought of contacting them and just asking
:-)
Agree with Justin, it needs to be a Windows instance.
Please let me know how I can help.
Thanks,
Om

Thanks for that info on the needed platform. The good thing about
an open
source project is, that anyone could setup a ci-server and build the
projects trunk. But I'll stick to asking them. We can always decide
on how
we do it a soon as we have something do decide about :-)

Hi,
Nice one. Not sure if Apache policy would have an impact on this,
as
we're not externally hosting anything or the list just using it as
a test
server I can't see any obvious issues but they do like to keep
everything
in house (for legal and other reasons).
I was intending on asking for a medium Windows machine (or
bigger) ...
if however Windows is not a must, I could try to get from them
what they
are willing to give in Linux ;-)
Currently as the SDK only compiles on windows (or OSX) and the
tests only
run in the Flash Projector it really has to be windows (or OSX).
