Being able to provision infrastructure as a service (Iaas) virtually with only a credit card has a certain useful appeal to me, and I wanted to see firsthand exactly what can be done and how much it costs. This post summarizes my experience and touches on Terremark’s various options for building VMware Cloud VMs. I also quickly describe/illustrate the difference in charges for Linux versus Windows Cloud servers. This post contains a lot of screen shots, and at the end I’ll offer some opinions on the usefulness of vCloud Express and where this service might make sense for IT shops.

Can I talk you into signing up for one of the other vCloud Express providers besides Terremark and then post your thoughts and experiences?

In fact, putting a public request for the v12n community to do so and tell us about it might be an interesting challenge. Maybe offer some vCalendars and UGH shirts as incentives?
