Pedro, This is great!
One concept I got from a 2007 IT Conversation podcast interviewing GigaVox and SmugMug: You are optimizing cost vs responsiveness. Reducing the granularity of startup and shutting down of instances saves quite a deal of money. Don MacAskill spoke more about this and SkyNet: http://don.blogs.smugmug.com/2008/12/09/on-why-auto-scaling-in-the-cloud-rocks/ http://don.blogs.smugmug.com/2008/06/03/skynet-lives-aka-ec2-smugmug/ I don't have anything more recent. Please share if anyone does. --Keenan On Jun 23, 2010, at 12:56 AM, Pedro Belo wrote: > Hi Chris, > > There is.
