Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today.

AWS is the most mature and broadest of the current cloud offerings providing scalable services for computation (EC2), storage (S3 & SBS), databases (SimpleDB & RDS), messaging (SQS & SNS), etc. The list of services provided by AWS continues to expand rapidly with new services being added on an almost monthly basis, (http://bit.ly/90887v). While existing applications can be deployed on AWS through the use of Amazon Machine Images the full benefits of this platform will come from applications that are developed to take advantage of AWS. The usage based billing model adopted by AWS allows organizations to scale applications without large upfront investment and avoid the overhead cost of under utilized hardware.
