When explaining AWS for the first time to managers (or anyone, for that matter) it is best to talk in concepts rather than in concrete terms. I’ve also noticed it is beneficial to try to tangiblize the discussion with familiar terms. Using terms like “Elastic IP” gets quizical looks, but calling it a publicly accessible IP address helps people to get a better overall grasp of concepts before using the AWS terms for things.

If you have built a killer application on Amazon Web Services, you may reach a point where you don’t want to continue to use them. I can think of any number of reasons you may want to migrate your servers.

It may be because you’ve reached the 20 server instance, or because you want more control, or because you want to buy your own machines and spend money on a system administrator instead of paying Amazon, or because there’s something that you need customized that’s ‘behind the curtain’ of AWS.

I was hunting around on the Amazon EC2 forums regarding an issue I’m having bundling a new AMI and decided I’d do aquick search to see if anyone else was having issues with unresponsive instances caused by DHCP leases. Lo and behold there are quite a few and they seem to be growing. This thread is a fairly typical example Instance not responding.

Each Amazon Web Services (AWS) product is, in and of itself, very powerful. By combining them, you can produce true enterprise-class web applications. This article guides you through building one of these applications. We will build a web-spidering solution using Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Lucene. The application will run on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Beta (Amazon EC2™), will use Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) for job management, and will store any persistent data (in addition to backups) on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
