A different opinion: Who wants to worry about OS/database patches/upgrades, optimized database configuration, security, and then be responsible for monitoring this environment as well?? There's no way you're going to do a better job at these tasks than a team of professionals focused 24x7 on these specific concerns ... all from a best practice perspective. Your value-add is your application and customer support - not haphazardly configuring and maintaining infrastructure in your spare(?) time.

There is a fee for bits going in and coming out so it gets costly depending on the data you have and what you might be doing. You might find that getting a rackspace virtual server or a GoDaddy site may be better for you compared to AWS. As an Amazon investor I want more people to get into AWS but in your case, it is probably a bad fit. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1502805325.1226952.1074064976.60aaa...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
