"companies should consider building redundancy into their cloud instances "
Interesting about the pricing.
Especially if they are like Adobe and Salesforce, who make it difficult (impossible?) to run locally.
In fact it's not a cloud. It's a set of islands of processing and storage with different prices to ship and from them, and between them.
I had thought it was one price regardless of where Amazon puts your stuff. In fact I thought they load balanced, migrating processing as needed.
Y'know, the whole "It's in the cloud, it doesn't matter where it runs" b***cks.
Obviously I was wrong.
This also has characteristics of the looks like the AT&T phone system crash when one (voice) exchange crashed and the bug in the fail over software propagated the crash to other exchanges.
