I'm looking for inexpensive ways to send payments to hundreds or thousands of individual contractors, even if they do not have a bank account. Currently I only need to support payment in the USA, but may eventually be international. What solutions exist that expose an API that I can submit payment details to? Or at least submit a batch...
I'm using amazon japan, using ItemLookup. We already have the EAN numbers (used as ItemId). It was working well until we need to modify the SalesRank. The previous SalesRank returned is for the whole SearchIndex, ex: Books, Music, etc. What we want is to get the SalesRank for a specific BrowseNode. I don't know but it seems that it is n...
The ec2-describe-instances command is not very helpful in distinguishing the instances. Are there command line tools that give a better overview? Perhaps somewhat like http://github.com/newbamboo/manec2 but with support for different regions etc. ...
The official documentation states: Raw byte size (GB) of all item IDs + 45 bytes per item + Raw byte size (GB) of all attribute names + 45 bytes per attribute name + Raw byte size (GB) of all attribute-value pairs + 45 bytes per attribute-value pair What is the raw size of an attribute-value pair?

I am trying to get a feel for the costs imposed by running apache on AWS continually. Assuming that the service is scarcely used, does anyone know how many cpu hours that would eat up in a month just by sitting there and running? I understand that this is slightly impractical but I am trying to figure out what the cost of entry is to dep...

We've got a couple of clusters running on AWS (HAProxy/Solr, PGPool/PostgreSQL) and we've setup scripts to allow new slave instances to be auto-included into the clusters by updating their IPs to config files held on S3, then SSHing to the master instance to kick them to download the revised config and restart the service. It's all worki...

SO I've finally figured out how to get my R scripts to run on the Amazon EC2 cloud. I've been using an AMI with 26 ECUs, 8 Cores, and 69 gigs of RAM. I then divide up my code into multiple scripts, and run each one in an instance of R. With a server of this size, I can easily run 20-40 scripts simultaneously, each running several 1000 s...
