Compare that page with the 'previous generation' page: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/previous-generation/ to see that there are new instance types, and they're cheaper.

AWS generates the key pair client side, and never sees your private key. Also, you can just chose to upload your own public key that AWS will utilize (which is best practice). AWS cannot view or provide you your private key at any time - o

If there were a hole in the AWS security model for this, I think it'd be pretty obvious pretty quickly, given what happens when US-East takes a dive... This happens constantly, and it's almost always through lack of best practices

When SSL gets broken, there are built in mechanisms that generally demonstrate 'something' is being screwed with. With JS crypto, that goes away - if the JS is shipped over the wire, it can just be silently replaced. If you'r

While not defending it in any sense, this STILL shows what the grandparent poster is saying: The folks THINK they're doing the RIGHT thing. They're giving extra evidence of crimes to convict criminals!

I've worked at big companies, small companies, and government agencies. You're asking for specifics based on generalizations, which is what I was suggesting you can't really get. Corporate policy in Corporate America is, much

This is pretty easy. All of them, if you're on the right team, working on the right project. Broad generalizations are pretty useless for something so intensely personal.

Different orgs have different cost models, and AWS is most definitely NOT more expensive for lots of them. It's also not always about bare bottom possible price for 'colo' type hosting. There's a ton of value to bringin

Hah, that's how Novell Netware got such high performance in file serving back in the day (no protected memory). Funny how things come full circle sometimes...

Costs for supplies should decrease, and why would employees expect raises greater than inflation if the company is not growing or doing anything new? Look at a McDonalds franchise, for a good example of steady state.

Not quite sure I understand where int he process you need it to be on, but is putting a config script ('/scripts') in the EB deployment repo that sets things up and/or turns on the SSH forwarding that you need? A quick s

Status needs to be hosted not on the infrastructure being reported on. If the issue is an API endpoint outage, having an API endpoint for status reporting is...counterproductive :)

Which degrades and cost more to fix - a battery or a transmission and other mechanical parts? People act like current cars have no parts or things that go bad over time. Tesla batteries look like they should be at 85% capacity at 100K mile

Then engineer your cloud provided architecture to be resilient, in the same manner you do so with hardware. At least you get $500 - with an onsite, self-owned infrastructure outage, you lose that $50k...and get nothing but pain and direct b

I think you're not understanding that you DONT have to eventually manage all of the systems on your own. S3 requires effectively 0 management. Dynamo requires effectively 0 management. The list goes on, and grows every quarter. Sure,
