Hi Richard, I am interested in this topic too. Setting it up, no problem. Its not too difficult to get it up and running. I made it that far without any issue. Reliability? Not sure. But from my research it looks like you need to ensure you have some failover, like in a regular setup and it looks like best practice is that you have multiple servers in different availability zones. There have been outages with Ec2 where all servers of a particular type just go offline or disappear. This would never happen with regular hardware so you need to plan for stuff like that.
There's also a big question mark about consistent throughput. I have read about people complaining about drive throughput working great and then one day just getting really slow. Probably because of noisy neighbours. I am interested to hear about other peoples experiences aswell.

We had a Gogrid Server that just disappeared one day. Gogrid had no clue as to why it happened, nor were they willing to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340406 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
