Amazon just shipped their new attachable volume service for EC2. Now you can mount a persistent store to your instances, and not worry about them disappearing if your instance crashes or is de-commissioned.
Pricing is $0.10 per GB per month plus $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests. Back-of-the-napkin estimate for a 100GB volume used for a high volume web site would cost $36 per month.

I'm looking forward to reading Sarah's book on Web 2.0 companies. Strangely, the Kindle version is MORE EXPENSIVE than the hardback? How can that be?
Hardback: $17
Kindle: $20If the book were a "best seller" - it would sell for $10 on Kindle. But I don't see how Amazon justifies selling the Kindle version for more than the hardback price.
Sarah is rumored to be planning a book tour - hopefully coming to Seattle as well.
