In the realm of Amazon Web Services, many users have expressed confusion regarding the differences between various offerings. This brief article aims to clarify two specific services, along with a product feature. For a more in-depth understanding, visit aws.amazon.com.
Amazon Flexible Payments Service (Amazon FPS)
The Amazon Flexible Payments Service (Amazon FPS) allows developers to accept payments directly on their websites, boasting several innovative features, including support for micropayments. This flexibility enables businesses to tailor their payment solutions to meet consumer needs.
Amazon DevPay
On the other hand, Amazon DevPay integrates two Amazon Web Services to facilitate a new model of Software as a Service (SaaS). Specifically, it supports applications built on Amazon S3 or Amazon EC2, enabling developers to resell their applications. You set the retail price, which is a markup over Amazon’s base fees. Customers pay Amazon directly, from which the base price, plus a small commission, is deducted before the remainder is credited to your Amazon account.
Amazon EC2 Public AMIs
It’s important to note that Amazon EC2 Public AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) are not a standalone service but rather a feature of Amazon EC2, designed with Amazon DevPay in mind. These virtual server images are typically configured with your proprietary software that you aim to monetize through a monthly fee or a markup above Amazon’s base charges. A well-known example is the Red Hat RHEL, which is available at a monthly fee plus an hourly charge, fully supported by Red Hat, making it a viable option for many businesses utilizing their software.
