If I'm understanding this right I run a VM (or let this process have access to my host) and then I can spin up AWS services on my local host? So I can have a development SQS queue that is run locally and then when I move to the cloud I can just change the config to point to the cloud version? And this is...? Free? I can't see anything about pricing.<p>If this is true this is amazing as it lets you prototype with AWS services for the cost of hardware.
I'm surprised to see this - I thought Azure On-Prem would have this market to themselves, to be honest.<p>This will be the death of a lot of the smaller virt/hybrid cloud business models, I suspect.
I've always been suspicious that you could roll your own aws if the volume justified the effort. Feels like this may have the unintended side effect of inspiring clever CIOs to consider doing this without Amazon.
This is kinda Amazon offering their own version of Eucalyptus, just 10 years later: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_(software)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_(software)</a>
