Amazon EC2 and S3 disaster planning
More on the Amazon SLA discussion. Artur reckons someone should compete with Amazon – I agree – competion is good. A (VERY) tongue in cheek suggestion: as this competition will be a start up, why not bootstrap it using S3 and EC2? If it takes off then you can afford to do your own thing, if it doesn’t then who cares – you don’t own the hardware.
CFengine
Must be going senile – never heard of CFEngine before and it seems to have been around for a while.
