"Last week we also decommissioned the last of our physical servers. We are now operating our entire website "in the cloud" as the kids would say. Specifically, we are using Amazon Web Services. If all went well, you didn't notice a thing."

Amazon's new EC2 SLA - O'Reilly Radar

"If the entire EC2 service is down a cumulative four hours and twenty minutes, customers must furnish proof of the outage to Amazon to be eligible for the 10% credit. This seems like an onerous process for very little compensation, and isn't in-line with Amazon's famous "Relentless Customer Obsession"." - getting to this late, but worth a read

Aleksey Aristov : Weblog

"Cloud Studio with OSGi support is finally out. Now it is possible to upload your bundles into S3 based bundle repository and create an instance profile (similiar to "Run Configuration" in Eclipse). After profile is created, an EC2 instance that hosts OSGi framework with required bundles can be launched." - late with this, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Performance increase with Amazon's EBS (persistent storage) | AltJ.org

"In summary, it's safe to say you'll see a significant disk performance increase if you switch over to using EBS with your EC2 instances. In addition to the performance increase, it's a no-brainer that you want persistent storage for your databases. One other huge benefit is snapshots. You can quickly and easily snapshot your database for backup purposes or for testing/reporting you may want to run against your most recent production data."
