Lessons Learned

Plan for failure
Amazon is not immune to network problems. But at least you have the
means to react.


Automate, Automate, Automate
Benefits are greatest, when your infrastructure is completely automated.
Think configuration and deployment too!


Eventual Consistency
Things are not always immediate. Sometimes it takes a while for resources
to be available (again).


Use Reserved Instances!
