So you want to run R in the cloud so you can set your Gibbs sampling off, forget about it, and not be paranoid about power cuts and reboots. Andrew Gelman hosted a good debate on the pros and cons of R in the cloud on his blog.

There you have it. If you want to run R on a 64-bit server with googles of power, that is your answer. So long as you know your cat from your whoami and you don’t want to use JAGS or BUGS.
