Re: Disaster recover?

"Or am I the only one who remembers that "cloud" was supposed to invulnerable to outages according to the marketing wonks."

Yes, I think you are the only one...

According to the Amazon CTO, Everything Fails all the time. So you need to make use of things like AZ's, Loadbalencers, replication if you want uptime. Moving a VM to the cloud without this is not going to help you, and the cloud providers will tell you that, and warn you against it!
