It is interesting to see these trends over time. I wish there was some way to view this on a per-account basis. Specifically I am curious about how companies on EC2 evolve their instance strategy over time. I think there is tendency to grow into larger and larger instances over time.

Interesting question/observation. Has your usage evolved along similar lines? Has it been a linear evolution, or have you found particular break points along the way?

We definitely did but that was mostly dictated by the fact that SSDs were only available on large boxes.
