I’m always excited when we see something new for amazon web services

This certainly looks very interesting! I cant help but wonder if the memory caching in the neterprise version is enough to run small MySQL instances on? At the very least being able to MySQLdump regularly to a file directly on S3 would be useful as opposed to mysqldump to a file, split it into chunks, copy the chunks off to s3.

Perhaps I’ll contact them next week and see if they’ll let me take it for a test drive?!

    I would love to read if it can be used to store and backup SQL databases.
