very nice job and thanks too for sharing I have a instance running django stuff on EC2 too with dyndns.org set up. Everything is on one instance and I plan to multi-tier this application.
As we are experimenting teh same solutions, do you have anything to share regarding this special stuff on EC2 ( http://media.djangobook.com/content/chapter21/scaling-5.png) and the fact that an instance is not persistent and this product could fill the gap ( http://www.openfount.com/) 2007/6/2, mtrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > If you EC2 (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2) then read on otherwise you can > ignore all of this.
