Netflix has spent a lot of time and energy devising solutions that minimize disruptions. Are any of you Cloud-Savvy folks using Netflix's tools on Amazon? If so, are you using them off-the-shelf or did you need to customize them to suit your site? In particular: Asgard is cited in the post as making a "zone evacuation" relatively straightforward. Astyanax (their Cassandra client) is designed with "smarts" that allow it to choose from available nodes should one or more be unavailable. These (and several other tools) are available from Netflix at Github: https://github.com/Netflix https://github.com/Netflix
