What will be the impact of this on third party monitoring apps like CloudKick.?May be they have to provide more value addition on other areas of cloud computing like custom building of servers , automating sys-admin etc.

CloudKick is nicer, but then free is free. I use CloudKick for my stuff and I don't think I'll stop. Some customers however need to cut their costs for many-Ec2 instance deployments, so the free monitoring is good.

I just checked most of the large instances my customer runs, and noticed some are very underutilized; wonder if free monitoring might reduce Amazon's revenue?

Their developers will have more time to write pithy responses on HN?
