About nine months ago, I asked [1] about the possibility of running parts of the notebook in Amazon EC2 instances. Here's an email I got from someone at Amazon who did compile Sage in an EC2 instance and ran a notebook server from there. There are educational discounts available.
[1] https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/550b2c51772d5c80/ I think the new scalable notebook system will lend itself to EC2 and other cloud-based thing. I hope we can get something running soon. ----- Forwarded message from "Barr, Jeffrey" <jbarr at amazon.com> ----- > Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:34:26 -0800 > From: "Barr, Jeffrey" <jbarr at amazon.com> > To: "drake at kaist.edu" <drake at kaist.edu>, > "wstein at gmail.com" <wstein at gmail.com> > Subject: Sage is now running on Amazon EC2 > > Hi Dan and William, > > I'm Jeff Barr.
