The link is not currently working for me either, but I'm excited to see this option!

Odd, I just tried it again and it is indeed working. I'll pass this on to the adobe.com team. --- Ben

ColdFusion 10 for AWS link is broken

Is this the enterprise version?

This is exciting news, and a long time coming. Kudos to the team (both technical and business0 for making this happen. I also hope Adobe will work on a Standard edition AMI for startups so we can bootstrap prototypical projects quickly.

Woo hoo ! That works out at around (0.15 * 24 * 365) = $1,300 a year, which is extremely competitive compared to buying an enterprise licence yourself. Qudos to the team at Adobe !

Dave, AWS pricing is usage based, and the prices posted here are the starting point. As you add features or utilize more services or bandwidth, the usage price goes up. Click on the product links and you'll see Amazon pricing. --- Ben

Link not working for me either.

What does the phrase, "Pay only for the cloud resources used" mean in relationship to the $0.15/hr price tag?

I tried to explore this a few months ago, but is it possible to connect ColdFusion to an AWS:RDS Database instance? Being able to spin up a Windows/Coldfusion/SQL Server instance quickly would be pretty helpful, but I don't have a lot of use for it if it can't connect to a database.

Jeff March 27, 2013

Ben, to Phil's point, it would be great if Adobe came out with beginner videos on how to get a CF10 AMI up and running connected to an instance of Amazon's RDS (database service) either MSSQL or MySQL. Sort of the traditional hosting setup, but all up and running on Amazon. I think that would significantly help those exploring the Amazon AMI option.

Hi Ben, will it support using an Access database?
