Amazon EC2 Mac Instances
An interesting offering from Amazon that is crippled by Apple and MacStadium, who deserve to be raked over the coals for their recent EULA changes. Just read the post on MacStadium&#x27;s blog: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.macstadium.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;developers-big-sur-and-vindication" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.macstadium.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;developers-big-sur-and-vind...</a><p>Under the new agreement, you must:<p>* Rent to only one organization<p>* Rent for 24 hours at the minimum<p>* Use it for some set of &quot;approved&quot; development work<p>…among other restrictions. And Brian Stucki is <i>celebrating</i> these changes?! This is a sick joke. You&#x27;re enjoying a significantly tightened EULA that benefits nobody but yourself, a EULA that means that a single CI build now costs $26 on AWS instead of 50 cents; one that means that more than half the comments here are confused why AWS is ripping people off.<p>Shame on you Brian Stucki, shame on you MacStadium, and shame on you Apple. Your EULA changes are absurdly hostile to developers, since now they&#x27;re either going to have to buy Macs themselves or rent from MacStadium-like services. Shame on you both for colluding together for making this situation horrible and then having the guts to write that blog post.<p>I can&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m saying this, but Amazon, I feel so sorry for you. You didn&#x27;t deserve this.
