Please see some of these links to better analyze & understand the difference between Amazon Cloud Server with Rackspace Cloud.
Things come into my mind:
- Amazon server stack has CHOICES possibly everything, but Rackspace server stack is fixed.
- Control everything on your server stack with Amazon but Rackspace - NOPE.
- You can play around with various services (EBS, EIP, S3, etc) in Amazon server to suite your price, you can't with Rackspace, since you are priced for the whole stack.
- In Amazon - single EBS AMI, you can have many different instance types of machine.
