Amazon Web Services Blog: 100% on Amazon Web Services: Soocial.com
A look at one app's AWS architecture. Nginx, HAProxy, Rails, pgpool II, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ. I didn't realize that pgpool II did sharding at the balancer layer; that makes this kind of set up much easier.
Amazon Web Services Blog: Big Day for Amazon EC2
Lots of new stuff on EC2: oo more beta (nice), SLA promising 99.95% uptime (woo!), Windows/SQL Server support (meh). Coming soon: management console (nice), monitoring (sweet), auto-scaling (yay!) and load balancing (wahoo!!). If anyone seriously wants to compete with Amazon in the cloud services space, they're gonna need to jump quick. Once these new features land I don't think there'll be any reasons left not to use EC2.
