The failures in "failure resilient" here don't include disk failure. You may or may not want to take that risk... Moreover I guess it's still Xen underneath so the fork issue is not solved.
the fork should not be an issue - Amazon's high end machines use hardware
based virtualization which makes it just as fast as any other VM. it's the
older, lower end machines only that have this problem.
you just need to select the right AMI. The cheapest machine that can run
this way costs about $1000/month, and has 23G RAM.

Good to know. I though the only way to get hardware-based virtualization was to choose Windows instances...
No, I talked to their support last week, they said that the the high end
instances use it on Linux too, and while porting all instances to work with
hardware support is on their road map, they cannot commit to a time frame
on this.
