Automatic loadbalancing on Amazon EC2

Amazon's EC2 service is one of the most attractive web services you can get; pay per use, high availability and extremely cheap. Some time a go, I blogged about how Drupal could use a "reverse throtteling": role out more servers when under load (instead of, reduce functionality when under load).

Now check out this extreme cool screencast on how to do automatically loadbalancing on EC2 at
WeoCEO . A must see for anyone in to ICT architecture, webhosting or Drupal.

NB: there is at least one Drupal site on EC2, about EC2: http://elastic8.com/, not frequently updated but a good read!

we think its very cool. We use it for our geospatial portal at www.WeoGeo.com, and productized it when asked by AWS.

@gaele - ain't it the truth!

Just tried EC2 and It is very cool I think. Only to keep an instance in the air just for test for about 74 dollar per month is not very cheap..
But for other purposes it is very interesting.
