True. And hence, a conversation that started with me asking if others are experiencing the same problems, devolved into a conversation where I'm basically griping publicly about how badly I want to get my stuff off Amazon. (But it's nothing compared to the problems I saw on rackspace cloud, where I was actually able to measure and see "IO Error" occasionally in the logs, and things like "/bin/ls: command not found" would occur, and when I downloaded the backend datastore to scrutinize their encryption, and discovered that some of the data wasn't actually even encrypted! On both of those cases, I contacted their support, demonstrated the problem, and had them tell me "If this was a real problem, other customers would have complained by now," and they wouldn't do anything about it.) For the time being, I'm strongly in favor of Digital Ocean. The one server I was able to easily migrate away from AWS to DO, is all-SSD, and depending on what you measure, performs between 4x and 1000x faster in every way, and costs half as much, and so far, is more reliable without any of the booby traps and pitfalls of the AWS management interface. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
