We asked this question earlier in regards to Matlab in the Cloud; now that we have launched support for R, we’re asking again in the context of R in the cloud. – third result is a neat post detailing running R on EC2 servers. Neat, but as we stated before, we believe that many of you will prefer to get down to computational brass tacks and not futz about with system administration.
Update: Robert Grossman’s original article offers more detail on running R on EC2, and has some interesting discussion as well.
