I thought TOR was just a routing protocol. I don't see how it would
use cloud services. The article description sounds more like Freenet.

This is talking about using Amazon EC2 to run bridge nodes. Did you
not even bother to read the article, or do you just have no idea how
Tor works?

I have an idea how Tor works, I had no idea how Amazon EC2 works. I
thought it was just a place to store your Kindle books online. I
wasn't aware that they provided a complete virtual machine with a
static IP address.
