What are some big sites that are using Amazon EC2 [closed]

Answer 1

How large is 'large'? I know that heroku runs on EC2, and they do a pretty large amount of traffic.

Answer 2

Reddit uses EC2

Answer 3

Netflix, DropBox, Zynga (maker of Farmville) are pretty big users of EC2

In the financial world Nasdaq OMX is a good example but virtually every bank uses EC2 for computational needs (not as a main system but highly used by both banks and hedge funds to run simulations).

Answer 5

Instagram uses Amazon... at least their images are hosted on S3. Check out this link:

Also, I'm pretty sure Reddit moved away from Amazon Cloud after the most recent outage.
