		<description><![CDATA[As part of my work on Honesty Box, I&#8217;ve been reviewing EBS disk performance once again. This was a great opportunity to expand on the research from last year. After re-reading what I posted then, along with the wealth of data that has been compiled since, I realized I still didn&#8217;t have sufficient information to [...]]]></description>

This is important because anyone leveraging platforms like Facebook or MySpace have just put themselves nearly 3000 miles closer to the key data centers where these platforms are running out of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ran into a problem this morning with Amazon&#8217;s Elastic Load Balancer. If you want to have multiple availability zones, say us-east-1a and us-east-1b, behind your elastic load balancer, be sure to have at least one healthy instance running in each. What happens otherwise is inbound requests will &#8220;dead end&#8221; and serve up 503 errors. This [...]]]></description>

These examples grew out of challenges attempting to automate EC2 processes. These basic principles of course can be applied more generally as needed.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I learned a few painful lessons: First, EC2 instances die and a simple reboot will not recover them. Second, unlike many web hosts &#8211; amazon doesn&#8217;t offer any level of monitoring. Third, backups are only useful if they&#8217;re current.
