Amazon Web Services: static IP’s and geographic HA

Got a newsletter from AWS this morning, two great improvements that were holding me back from using it for production servers:

  • “elastic IP’s” = static IP’s linked to your account, so you can move them amongst instances
  • Availability zones = geographic high availability

Nice - we can use this for more than just development/staging now. On the fly production environments without resorting to hackery.
