I thought you could snapshot drives across regions and bring those EBS drives up under new instances in new regions?
I have not used it all in detail yet so I don't know the practicality of this method.
I think I will stick to my co-location costings I am doing for the time being. There is only one person to rely on when it all goes wrong then!
Good luck getting it sorted, i know I wouldn't appreciate being up at 3am sorting it though

- chrislomax 16y agoInteresting, your insight has given me a lot to think about. Do you guys blog this anywhere?
- jedberg 16y agoYeah, usually they are on our blog right after the downtime, or in /r/announcements on reddit.
