Yup, spot instances would surely fit. And yes EC2 is awesome too. No point in changing the thread to a different discussion altogether. Even if Rackspace is #2, this is not what was expected of it, right? Changing the provider to EC2 is an option that everyone has but that has enormous overhead too!

That is what I was expecting from HN community. It would be really sad to see this go unnoticed.

Well, I wont go so far calling Rackspace a 'bad' company as such, afterall they have an excellent customer support - but there are somethings which should never be overlooked or , for that matter, never be done when you have such a huge customer base. Rackspace is just taking a wrong turn here!

sure, github, thenextweb & countless others ovelooked the beauty that EC2 was.Right?

There are countless differences between EC2 & Rackspace for example CPU - rackspace's performance is way better than EC2. You should benchmark your scripts on both & then compare.
