I read a post quite a while ago from the reddit admins bitching out EC2 after one of the last dramas, I remember they said it would be a huge migration to migrate all data across to a new provider so they would have to be solid.
I wonder how their current EC2 pricing would compare to Joyent?
During the second-to-last Amazon EBS outage (that affected our RDS instances, I started migrating our database over to Joyent. Before RDS was completely restored, I had a MySQL instance up and running and our production servers pointing to the new host via SSH tunneling. As far as pricing goes, they're competitive with EC2, but, you need to factor in the amount of time that it'll take to move off of Linux and onto Solaris/SmartOS (which isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things)...
