I think we will need to put a copy of the image in every region where we want to run things. There will be a probably pretty small cost for storing it. We could probably get away with only Singapore and Virginia. My original motivation was actually that us-east-1 was having trouble. I have tested making a new (private) ami is ap-southeast-1 and then booting it there. It is about 100ms closer than the US (I'm surprised it's not more.) It is distinctly faster for interactive use. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
