Site failover is one of the exercises that are left to the user. Considering how relatively bare-metal an experience AWS provides, this has never surprised me.
Are you suggesting that AWS should operate out of more than one location?
It's a wonderful idea!
I even have a list of possible locations they should look into. Beyond the Virginia site, they should be looking at DCs in Oregon, California, Ireland, Singapore, Tokyo and even Sao Paulo. What do you think?
