A little late on this thread, but another problem with EC2 is that Amazon, because of its massive consumer retail operation and global profile, is a much bigger and juicier target for attackers than Rackspace or Linode. I have never liked the idea that I order books and shoes with the same user account that has control of my servers. Of course you can and should create a separate account just for AWS admin, but you can't limit an account to *only* AWS access, so the attack surface is much larger than it should be. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
