Hey guys,
Apologies in advance if this question is in poor taste. But I've really fallen in love with learning about the cassanrdra database. The only problem is that it doesn't run very well on an t1.micro instance at amazon and the larger sizes are quite expensive. An m1.small can do the trick, while still not optimal. So I was wonder if there was any real value in the cloud or even VPS world where I could setup a small Cassandra ring and go to town learning the ins and outs of how it operates.
Thanks Tim

A quick look for Cassandra system requirements: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraHardware
recommends a L instance on AWS.
Alternately, you could do it with a bunch of guest VMs in LKVM.
A desktop with a Phenom II (4 or 6 cores) or Intel i5 with 16 GB and a HDD to match your Cassandra db could be a starting point.
You can manage the VMs with virt-manager.
