I got an email today from Amazon’s web services notifying me that persistent storage is on its way for their EC2 product. This is probably that last hurdle for mass adoption given that they recently started allowing static IPs as well.
The new persistent storage will be available as raw partitions allowing you to format as you like, which is pretty cool, and available up to 1TB of storage. If that isn’t enough for you, you can have multiple volumes attached to a single instance, essentially giving you unlimited disk space.
In line with their other services, there will be an API for working with the storage, and to top it off, saving the data as snashots to S3. Could backups get better than that?
