Re:Amazon RDS MySQL Now Starting at Just $19 a Month by heretohelp on Monday June 11, 2012 @07:54PM (#4097793)
Except for the part where I can fire up a $19.95/month Linode instance for running MySQL, sure.

The advantage of Amazon is not cost, it's flexibility and ease-of-use. Questionable ease-of-use at that, given how horrid their web UI is.

The vendor lock-in is concerning as well (not for RDS, more for other things).
