With EC2 you are also pretty much completely on your own support wise. Having tried out EC2, I now use http://www.ayera.com/ instead
The performance difference is huge, plus Ayera's CEO is a CF developer. EC2 has terrible IO performance, unless your looking at scaling up to mulitple nodes, I would recommend avoiding EC2, the pricing is no longer that competitive either. You also get access to high speed shared external db servers, with Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL depending on the plan you choose & CF is bundled z On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Brad Fleming <brad...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Dale.
