Reading the AWS docs also gave me the thought of a wiki host run on AWS with load balancers, auto-scaled servers (the source of the wiki code in some object store or something not dependent on a server's filesystem), and the job queue in SQS using spot-instances occasionally to chew through the job queue by temporarily spawning a normally expensive server at a cheap price. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
