If you've got something you'd like to talk about, let me know. We'll try to be a bit more time conscious from here on out.

Thanks to everyone who came last night.

Lynn had asked about Amazon vs. Google Apps last night. In thinking about it, I've got a simpler answer:

With Google, there is less stuff to worry about. They take care of where your application is, spinning it up, how many instances it needs, what to put on the CDN, etc. It just does it. For most projects, you can just focus on your project.

With Amazon, you can very tightly control everything, but you need to think about it, and plan it in advance. You say what data centers your job runs in, etc. And, you have to pay to have your basic infrastructure up. (If you make it complex, you can really save money)

Amazon charges you for infrastructure. Google charges you for your application. If it's not used between 10pm-4am, you don't have any infrastructure. With Amazon you do.

Just a reminder for dinner next Tuesday. http://www.techhui.com/events/maui-techies-gtug-dinner-3

One area I'd like to talk about is encouraging Technical Conferences to come to Maui.

Tim, I don't know. I've been happy with them. I've got 6 servers at Rackspace and 3 at Amazon. For dedicated servers, they are both cheap and solid. I roll my own servers. Out of curiosity what was the problem?

@ Ben Ward, has Rackspace improved their cloud product in the last 6-8 months? I tested a bunch of sites on it and it was one of the worst hosting environments I've had to deal with.
