- IgorPartola 13y agoAssuming all the HIPPA concerns are addressed. Last I checked, healthcare businesses want nothing to do with AWS, and either run their own infrastructure or begrudgingly use things like Firehost.
- ceejayoz 13y agoIt's supposedly possible. http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/#hipaa http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/#hipaa
- anderiv 13y agoYep, it's possible, but to get them to sign a BAA with you, you need to agree to only use a very small subset of the AWS products (basically just EC2 and S3. No RDS, no ELB, etc.). Additionally, any EC2 instance you provision need to have the "single tenancy" bit set on your instances. Which, when set, you start getting hit with a very high flat per-day "single tenancy" fee in addition to higher hourly costs for your instances.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoCorrect! Once you need single tenancy, you might as well be buying your own gear and colo'ing it (unless you have a desperate need for low latency access to other AWS services you simply can't move away from).
- adolph 13y agoEpic (hyperspace) is generally accessed through Citrix. It just runs in a single application container instead of exposing a full desktop.
