Comment Comment by jakozaur S3 is a nice trick. More tricks:1. Ask for discounts if you are a big AWS customer (e.g., spend $1mln+/year). At some point, they were huge for inter-AZ transfers.2. Put things in one AZ. Running DB in "b" zone and your only server in "a" is even worse than just standardizing on one zone.3. When using multiple AZ do load aware AZ balancing. parent jakozaur 2 years ago
