OpenWorld08: Oracle on Amazon EC2

This may be the biggest news of the conference this week.  Most Oracle products are now certified on Amazon EC2.  According to the licensing doc, for products that are Standard Edition or Standard Edition One, 1 CPU = 4 virtual cores.  For EE products 1 CPU = 2 virtual cores, which is equivalent to the rules for Intel processors.

Additionally there are AMI (Amazon Machine Images) available for download w/ standard configurations.  Unfortunately it looks like there are no Middleware images yet.
