The focus was S3 - storage service, EC2 - their compute cloud, their queuing system, and their flexible payment system. The EC2 is very similar to having a Linux box in a colocation facility. This would seem to be a good case for us to separate off matching and making that a more scalable operation on EC2.

I was also surprised by the performance improvement on dedicated hardware as compared to EC2 instances of roughly 10x. In looking at these numbers, seeing Cake PHP at 500x slower, Ruby-Rails and Django at 50x slower really surprised me. Several of these are B2B applications with relatively smaller audiences.

At the CTO Group that I organize in Santa Monica, we've had lots of discussions around this. Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning.
