Windows Azure 还是 RackSpace 云？
因此，我一直在计算 Azure 和 RackSpace 云服务器的数据，发现 RackSpace 便宜得多，开发人员投资更少（无需自定义编程），如果您的站点需要大量存储解决方案，RackSpace 可以提供 RackSpace 云文件。这似乎好得令人难以置信，我错过了什么？
So I have been running the numbers for Azure and RackSpace Cloud Servers and found that RackSpace is substantially cheaper, less developer investment (no custom programming), and RackSpace offers RackSpace Cloud Files if you need a substantial storage solution for your site. It almost seems too good to be true, what am I missing?

我一直在使用 RackSpace 云而不是 Amazon，因为对于小型实例，RS 更便宜。这项服务一直坚如磐石。
I've been using RackSpace cloud rather than Amazon because for small instances RS is less expensive. The service has been rock solid.
您应该查看的另一个平台是 AppHarbor。 AppHarbor 是一个构建在 Amazon 之上的 PaaS。一方面，您可以获得 Amazon 的可移植性和基础设施，但另一方面，它们提供了 Azure 提供的许多丰富服务，例如后台任务和服务。负载平衡以及一些它不喜欢的第三方附加组件、极其简单的部署等等。
Another platform you should check out is AppHarbor. AppHarbor is a PaaS built on top of Amazon. On the one hand you get the portability and infrastructure of Amazon but on the other they provide a number of the rich services that Azure offers such as background tasks & load balancing plus some that it doesn't like 3rd party add-ons, dead-simple deployment and more.
回应上面推荐亚马逊的人……
我个人使用亚马逊EC2，但我运行Linux。我正在为我的一个朋友探索这些选择，我得出的结论是，Rackspace 比 Amazon for Windows 更划算。
原因是，如果您想要 SQL Server（只能在“大型”实例或更大的实例上获得），Amazon 的预留实例定价将为您每年 3000 美元以上。当然，您可以免费获得 SQL Server Express，但它有 4GB 的限制，这是一个很大的限制。
另一方面，Rackspace 允许您以每月约 160 美元的价格获得 2048MB 实例上的 SQL Server，这意味着它大约是 Amazon 大型实例价格的一半。它如此便宜的原因是 2048MB 比“大型”EC2 实例（8GB）小得多。此外，Rackspace 允许您选择 SQL Server Web 版本，它比 Amazon 唯一提供的标准版便宜得多。
总之：如果您在 EC2 和 Rackspace 之间做出选择，那么如果您是个人或小公司，请选择 Rackspace，因为它便宜得多。但是，如果您需要大量计算能力，EC2 仍然更便宜。
In response to the person above who recommended Amazon ...
I personally use Amazon EC2, but I run Linux. I was exploring these options for a friend of mine and I came to the conclusion that Rackspace is a better deal than Amazon for Windows.
The reason is that Amazon's pricing will put you at $3000+ a year for a reserved instance if you want SQL Server (which you can only get on a "large" instance or bigger). Sure, you could get SQL Server Express at no extra cost, but it has a limit of 4GB which is quite a constraint.
On the other hand, Rackspace lets you get SQL Server on a 2048MB instance for about $160 a month, meaning it's about half the price of the large instance at Amazon. The reason it's so cheap is because 2048MB is much smaller than the "large" EC2 instance (which is 8GB). Additionally, Rackspace lets you choose SQL Server Web edition which is much cheaper than Standard Edition which is the only thing Amazon offers.
In summary: If you're deciding between EC2 and Rackspace, go with Rackspace if you're an individual or a small company because it's much cheaper. However, if you need a lot of computing power, EC2 is still cheaper pound-for-pound.
您需要分析您的应用程序，看看哪种云计算/存储平台最适合它。 Rackspace 有一个非常方便的 API，您可以使用它管理您的云，这可能是但没有成为决定性因素。 Rackspace 拥有持久实例，这意味着您不必太担心实例崩溃，也不必像使用 Amazon AWS 那样设计自定义解决方案。亚马逊的优势在于其丰富的定制服务，但如果您决定使用它们，您将被锁定在他们的基础设施中。 Windows Azure 也有类似的情况。 OpenStack 项目正在解决这个问题。进行研究，价目表并不能说明全部情况。
You need to analyze your application and see which cloud computing / storage platform will be the best fit for it. Rackspace has a very handy API that you can use to manage your cloud, which may be but doesn't have to be a deciding factor. Rackspace has persistent instances, which means you don't have to worry so much about instance crashes and you don't have to engineer a custom solution like you have to do with Amazon AWS. The Amazon advantage is the richness on their custom services, but if you decide to use them, you will be locked into their infrastructure. It is similar thing with Windows Azure. This is being addressed by the OpenStack project. Do your research, the price lists don't tell the whole story.
亚马逊？

为什么 Rackspace 更便宜？仅当您需要网络托管时才如此。将 SQL Server 数据库添加到您的云服务器会增加 500 美元的月费（72 美分/小时），
我实际上也在尝试找出哪一个更好。不过我想我会选择 Azure，因为它有 109 美元的计划，其中包括 SQL Azure
;)
How come is Rackspace cheaper? that's only if you need Web hosting. Adding a SQL Server database to your cloud server adds $500 to your monthly fee (72cents/hour)
I am actually trying to find which one is better, too. However I think I will go with Azure, since it has a $109 plan which includes SQL Azure
;)
