Amazon live from Sydney data centre next week

This is great. I can't wait for Rackspace to have their offering available too. The current cloud offerings here are quite lacklustre.

Try us out - http://www.offis.com.au/content/tryb4ubuy.aspx we are local (Australia) and well trusted.

Now we Australians don't need to feel left out of those gigantic AWS outages!

Nevertheless, if we choose to use AWS we're subject to its outages regardless of where we use it from.

Just think, now our apps can fail even faster!

Awesome news! I wonder what the pricing will look like..

All that matters is: did they negotiate better bandwidth charges with Telstra?

G'day Amazon. How's it goin' mate? About bloody time you come visit. Make ya'self comfy but keep an eye out for the locals. 'specially those flamin' Drop Bears.

To the rest of you PaaS mob: so where the bloody hell are you?
