Moving to AWS (it's more than 6 steps) (imperialwicket.com)

Now that we know AWS is part of the NSA data operation, who will move private data to AWS?


Why would you put genuinely private data on anything other than a private server?

There are still plenty of good use cases for rental hardware. Also, using services that provide ephemeral and virtual data storage seems like a decent way to be sure that you can erase your steps if need be.

I don't know, but people seem to put stuff like that on AWS all the time and assume that SSL will protect them or something.
