I've also seen highly variable io performance (ie, slow/stuck) on EBS volumes. Sometimes, all reads/writes block for several second or minutes, with iowait going to 100% on an m1.small. example: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/conn

Who is responsible for crafting these procedures, I.E., requiring the body scans or alternative opt-out procedures? Do they have a name besides "Homeland Security"?

RHEL doesn't follow mainline, so Oracle will almost always have a more modern kernel. As another commenter pointed out, most of the improvments are just from this one point.

Because they compete with Red Hat and want to steal their customers. And now they can claim they have a superior product because they are using a modern kernel. Red Hat needs to release RHEL 6 ASAP.

So they have a two pronged approach: 1. Encourage customers to adopt this kernel to run Oracle workloads. Saying it's the only "recommended" kernel for Oracle software helps greatly. Oh and it's 75% faster. "The Unbreakable Enterprise Ker

I'm helping to build a similar service at http://cloudbees.com . It's basically a Hudson as a Service, so you can build pretty much whatever you want. Hudson build machines are dynamically attached to your Hudson master, and removed when

This is the best analysis I've seen of the suit. I agree that this is not primarily about money, given the uncertainty of an outcome. More than anything else though, this is Oracle proving they aren't going to play softball with infringeme
