AWS is, AFAIK, pretty much guaranteed to lose your data eventually. It's a great compute service if you can afford to have nodes fail now and then ... but probably not the best substrate for a database. If you have to use it for that, you *must* have good backup and replication strategies in place. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
