I haven't done a strict comparison by The Happiness Engine 05/24/2013, 3:01pm PDT But I'm involved in trying to migrate an entire infrastructure into AWS at work and bought a Linode so I might be able to compare: Off the cuff, I feel a micro instance is a fair bit weaker than the smallest Linode. AWS gives you a lot of tools you will never use. Base EC2 pricing puts a micro ahead as cheaper but the AWS model is to hook you into all those great platform features and then all of the sudden you have S3 charges and SQS charges and blah blah. If you have specific questions and I'm more sober I'd be happy to dig into it some but I'd point out you can basically get a micro instance for one year for free to play with. Cheapest Linode is exactly what you think a Linux of your choice with 1GB and some CPU could do. I really only host email & static websites so I've never really run into disk/cpu limits.
