I am a moderator on [Web Applications](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/), and I would like to address the points of this [Web Apps Meta]( https://webapps.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4071/is-this-site-really-the-right-place-for-amazon-web-services) question to a wider audience, because we get more than a handful of questions on these topics that have been originally posted on SU and which are either migrated or re-asked on our site.  

I'd like to open a discussion as to how EC2 and AWS questions should be treated in the future. 

From the tag wiki for [tag:amazon-EC2] (On SU)

>Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a web service that allows users to rent virtual computing capacity on which they can run their applications. Because EC2 is a web service, questions should be asked at http://webapps.stackexchange.com/ as they are off-topic here.

>off topic. Questions regarding this should be asked at [webapps.se].

Around probably four years ago, our focus began to shift away from any software that was hosted "in the cloud" to those that specifically behaved like applications.  From our [help center](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic):

>Using Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Google, or any other website **which behaves like an application**

While I am not an expert in EC2/AWS, it seems to me that these questions fall under the hosting umbrella rather than something that pertains to (as I tend to emphasize when interpreting our close reasons) *end-users* of applications such as Facebook and Gmail.  We certainly would welcome questions about the UI of any front end that Amazon would provide, but I think that it's time to decide where the vast majority of the hosting-related questions belong.

These questions are certainly IT related, but they don't always have a ready home, and I think we should definitely determine how to divvy them up or distribute them in the first place.  

At a bare minimum, I think this slightly misleading information should probably be removed from the Tag Wikis for the time being.
