As an aviator in the US military, I'm not surprised. This is common practice. The system in question is for public domain UK aviation charts and pubs. Many of the unclassified systems I use have the user and password taped to the monitor.

I’ve been working on some similar analysis with EC2 and other providers. I think the big missing point in this post (acknowledged by the author) is with regards to EBS optimized instances and provisioned IOPS where we’ve observed a dramatic

You have to careful comparing one specific EC2 instance with other providers. Unlike most compute services, EC2 infrastructure is heterogenous. The c1.xlarge instance compared might deploy to 2 or 3 different chipsets in us-east-1, each wit

This isn't unusual, amazon.com uses a combination of UltraDNS and Dyn, not their own AWS Route53 DNS service.

It won't generally affect the real user test results because of a warmup/training phase in the test when those DNS records would be cached within the recursive chain.

For direct synthetic tests we do see about 50ms response times in the US. For real user (recursive) tests we see lookups in the low 100ms range.

I created this DNS test. If your are evaluating DNS services, you might also check out a blog post I wrote last month summarizing the results we've collected from the DNS tests: http://blog.cloudharmony.com/2012/08/comparison-and-analysis.

Yes this is true on 64 but m1s. EBS IO is still very slow and m1s generally deploy to slower Intel 53xx and 54xx hardware (although this is still often faster than the AMD 2374 you'll get on Rackspace)

Linode is a much better choice for VPS. Rackspace cloud currently runs entirely on old AMD 2374 hardware. Sure you get 4 burstable cores for all instance types, but these do not perform even close to as well as 4 core on Intel 55xx or 56xx
