Ynet on AWS. Let's hope we don't have to test their limits.
In Israel, more than in most places, no news is good news. Ynet, one of the largest news sites in Israel, recently posted a case study (at the bottom of this article) on handling large loads by moving their notification services to AWS.
"We used EC2, Elastic Load Balancers, and EBS... Us as an enterprise, we need something stable..."
They are contradicting themselves in my opinion. EBS and Elastic Load Balancers (ELB) are the two AWS services which fail the most and fail hardest with multiple downtimes spanning multiple days each.
EBS: Conceptually flawed, prone to cascading failures
