I went to an oracle security course at oracle in Orlando, and the
instructor logged us on to VM images he kept in an amazon cloud. He
claimed it came down to about $1.00/per student per hour....
Just being a messenger, but like they say, it depends. Start with a
new image everytime... small simple small database... and it seems as
though that was a cost effective application of the cloud if what he
said is indeed the whole cost.

Who says you have to give up control of software versions? On most IaaS
cloud platforms (including Amazon), you can run any Linux or Windows,
and any software on top of that you want. I'm not sure what restriction
you are referring to.
Yes cloud is an annoying buzzword. It is also an actual real thing that
does stuff.
