How to run a datacenter 101. Have more then one location, preferably far apart. It being Amazon I would expect more. :/
Not entirely. Datacenters do go down, our best efforts to the contrary notwithstanding. Amazon doesn't guarantee you redundancy on EC2, only the tools to provide it yourself. 25% Amazon; 75% service provider clients; that's my appraisal of the blame. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
