Josh Koenig on Cloud Hosting with Pantheon
Josh Koenig (aka joshk) of Chapter Three talks about the Pantheon Project that allows you to run Drupal on a cloud infrastructure either as a Amazon EC2 machine instance or on the Rackspace Cloud. Chapter Three also has a service that is currently in private beta that provides a hosted version of Mercury on the Rackspace Cloud starting as low as $50/month. Koenig talks about some of the advantages of hosting on a cloud infrastructure as well as who the target audience is for making the leap into hosting on a cloud infrastructure.
