AWS now use ssd by default. The truth is, AWS is not the best at anything (ok except maybe S3, and mainly because of their track record), but they do it all. There is nothing anybody out there does that AWS doesn't do, and typically, AWS is the first to do anything. So you have the choice of getting very simple accounting and setup and buy a big cloud provider such as AWS or Rackspace, that does a little bit of everything, or deal with a bunch of vendors to get the best of bread for each service, such as Linode, DO, Backupsy, OVH, etc... -- Yves. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
