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. :)
