Just a quick note; this is my first post since the change over yesterday of the CIO Weblog to run using Amazon's EC2 and S3 systems on the back-end. I can feel it running faster already!

The blog remains unaffiliated with Amazon despite my occasional cheerleading; in fact, if it blows up, you an expect a good tongue lashing to emerge berating AWS, as now I have someone outside the company to blame.

• Amazon stays ahead on the cloud curve
• Amazon adds content distribution to Web Services options
• More on the Amazon/IBM deal
• Amazon gets savvy on support
