Amazon AWS SLA and Unique IP
Lots of great news from the Amazon AWS team. First of all there is now an SLA for their service. This in itself is very cool indeed, not because I don’t trust their uptime and their will to be up and running, but it just ads a little bit of accountability to the mix. 99.9% uptime is roughly an hour of downtime per year by the way. Not bad.
The one that excited me even more, and I am happy to quiz one of their evangelists when he comes over to cologne next month, is from an eWeek article:
_Andy Jassy, senior vice president of Amazon Web Services, told the audience that the offering was currently working on static IP technology._
Wow! Kick ass. I just really need one, and a way to manage which server gets that IP. Sure I could use some dyndns like service, or even Neustar Ultra Services or something but having one unique IP that is up and that can be bound to a load balancer would be great. Add WeoCeo and I am set. :)
