Oh, look, Amazon Web Services's got a one-stop cloud store.

It's renting third-party cloudware by the hour or by the month that's pre-configured for its cloud at a new online AWS Marketplace.

In a click users can float software from folks like IBM, Microsoft, Canonical, Red Hat, SUSE, SAP, Zend, Couchbase, CA and Check Point and get a single bundled bill.

Beats scrambling around getting the same stuff off individual web sites and sorting through a bunch of bills.

The wares include business applications, tools, platforms, whole stacks, security and networking. Users can discover and compare.

The scheme is also supposed to make customer acquisition, managing accounts and billing easier for the merchants.

Free open source vendors are also represented including Drupal, Wordpress and MediaWiki.

AWS preens that "AWS Marketplace brings the same simple, trusted, and secure online shopping experience that customers enjoy on Amazon.com's retail web site to software built for the AWS platform, streamlining the process of doing research and purchasing software." It "makes it even easier to run software on AWS because you can find a wide variety of AWS ecosystem providers' solutions, in one place, where much of the work involved in building and deploying solutions on top of AWS has already been done for you by these solutions providers."

AWS is thought to be laughing up its sleeve at budding rival OpenStack it's so far ahead. Notice prominent OpenStack backers like IBM and Red Hat are represented. Betting on both the red and black, huh, boys.
