And yes, Amazon has had massive trouble today. I still haven't had any downtime despite a huge chunk of a datacenter being down. If that's not redundancy I don't know what is.
Babaganoosh, the point is that with Amazon these are all piecemeal services that you have to integrate and manage on your own. You simply cannot compare a purely infrastructure product with a managed services solutions, its apples and oranges. As Mike mentioned Amazon is great for raw infrastructure and we plan on using them for some additional and new services in the future, along with some other larger cloud infrastructure providers.
