The key issue is this specific case is that the entire system was totally undocumented. If it had been, the outage would have lasted much less than an hour!

Github will more than likely be a great solution to host static web pages but the evaluation for the shift needs to get into all the funky legacy redirects/rewrites we have in place, etc. This is probably not a real issue for docs.scipy.org but would be for other services. > As long as we can fit under the 1 gig size limit then GH pages seems > like the best option so far... it's reliable, widely understood, and > all of the limits besides the 1 gig size are soft limits where they > say they'll work with us to figure things out. > Another option would be to just host the content under S3 with Cloudfront. It will also be pretty simple as a setup, scale nicely and won't have much restrictions on sizing. -- Didrik
