Persistent Storage for Amazon EC2

Cool Stuff

On the heals of GOOGLE Apps having persistent storage Amazon decides to add it as well. This was the only major issue I had with EC2 as I didn't "get" how it would all work with S3. It seems they are planning to add an unformatted harddrive that you can partition and format to your heart's desire. There will even be an API to backup the harddrive to S3.

This is a very exciting development, I can't wait to try it out.
