Ugh. I am working on the next gen architecture for our site, and I wanted to focus on hosting it in a cloud - but all these outages give me no confidence that cloud-based hosting is really all that ready for primetime yet.

IHMO AWS Windows instances may not be ready for prime time. This issue seems not to affect Linux based instances. There are other cloud providers like the YC favorite, SliceHost - I have no direct experience with them but may soon try them out.

  Slicehost is not really a "cloud provider". You buy a VPS and use it "forever".

    Well, it's both. Rackspace Cloud Servers (basically, Slicehost post-acquisition) has an EC2-like api to spin up and down servers on demand, billed by the hour.
