Hi all,

In addition to t1.micro instances (supported since December), it's now possible
to run FreeBSD on EC2 cc1.4xlarge ("cluster compute") instances.  These are
8-core Nehalem systems with 23 GB of RAM, running amd64/HVM.

Don't know if this is useful to anyone here, but if anyone's looking for a place
to play with 64-bit HVM, it's out there.
