More Details on ESRI on AWS (#feduc)

I didn't see these details elsewhere, but Comptuerworld reports:

Initially ESRI will offer ArcGIS Server Enterprise Advanced v10, along with a few extensions, on AWS. "The ArcGIS Server Amazon Machine Images, hosted in the AWS cloud, will not be made available until the ArcGIS Server v10 release [in July], and only for customers under an ESRI Enterprise License Agreement," says Victoria Kouyoumjian, IT Strategy Architect at ESRI. Users who don't want to wait for the release of v10 can run ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 in the cloud, but that requires retaining ESRI Professional Services to assist in getting it up and running.

I don't get it.

ESRI says this on their web:
"You pay only for what you use, with no up-front expenses or long-term commitments, making AWS the most cost-effective way to deliver your application to your customers and clients."

but then on the computerworld quote, they say it will be available "only for customers under an ESRI Enterprise License Agreement".

This seems to be contradictory.

Kirk,

I find that quote on the Amazon website, not the ESRI one. http://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws/

Can you tell me where on the ESRI site you find it?

I suspect that ESRI "on top of AWS" can set its own rules.

Also, mail sent to the address ESRI provides (aws@esri.com) bounces.
