That sounds like a nightmare. You'd have zero uptime guarantees!

- odonnellryan 11y agoWould you? What if you limited people to writing in a domain specific language: one that ran distributed on this infrastructure? How would that make it different than folding at home, for example?
- Johnny555 11y agoDoes Amazon have any instance uptime guarantees?
- joombaga 11y agoYes, >99.95% Monthly Uptime Percentage. "“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS, as applicable, was in the state of “Region Unavailable.” Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any Amazon EC2 SLA Exclusion (defined below)." https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/sla/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/sla/
- Johnny555 11y agoThat's a regional outage, they provide no SLA for individual instances: Amazon EC2 SLA Exclusions... (v) that result from failures of individual instances or volumes not attributable to Region Unavailability Presumably if you're using a cloud hosted in people's basements, if someone's basement server dies, you'd just pick one from someone else's basement, so this model could provide better availability than AWS.
- ant6n 11y agoLike Amazon spot instances. People follow habits, so you can make uptime predictions.
