What? You mean without a backup plan to substitute in for the platform with known reliably issues? Yeah I guess that would suck. Edit re your edit on dogfooding: supposedly they use the same tech, just not the same servers, so their AZs are probably separate form ec2s. Also, they're in all of their geographical locations, not just us east.

Do you have a source for Amazon.com running on AWS or AWS technology? As far as I know, they've never gone on the record with that.

  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Cloud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Cloud the Amazon.com retail website has been running on AWS since November 2010.

    Wow - looks like you're right! I dug into the presentation (link below, important slide is #33) and Amazon are now claiming that all their web servers run on AWS. It's only their webservers (not their DBs, load-balancers or "services" which I presume means anything stateful). Of course, the co-location option for 'difficult' services is only available to Amazon, and before the switch-over in November they presumably weren't using AWS nearly so heavily, but this is at least a step in the right direction. http://www.slideshare.net/AmazonWebServices/2011-aws-tour-australia-closing-keynote-how-amazoncom-migrated-to-aws-by-jon-jenkins http://www.slideshare.net/AmazonWebServices/2011-aws-tour-au...
