Azure: SQL Azure or Amazon EC2

I am torn. For a while now, I thought that I had settled on the decision to use Azure as our cloud provider. But now that the pricing is ready, I see that the “large” offering they have is for 10 GB of database storage. 10 GB!! That means that I have to spend time, effort and guesswork on partitioning my databases even for my small projects!

So I need to figure out how Azure is better than Amazon EC2 where the smallest you can start with has 160 GB of storage, which should leave well over 100 GB of space available for database storage after installing Windows Server and SQL Server.

Anybody who can shine some light on this for me is welcome to post a comment.

PS: Azure is not off to a good start for me for one more reason. I need my cloud “package” to scale up and down dynamically. Azure doesn’t have that and won’t have that when they go live at PDC this year. Amazon does!
