This article is misleading. The entire point is to not move data out of the cloud. Instead bring your computing (analysis, visualization) to the data and pay for compute cycles on AWS. If your workflows are short/bursty, you will come out ahead. Moreover, you will be able to do big data-style computations that you cannot do in a local computing environment. This is bad journalism, IMO.
