S3 security model is really good. I use it just for backup. They encrypt it with one key and you can do whatever you want. So I use JumpDisk and encrypt it before it leaves my computer. I wonder how they secure the underlying virtualization layer for the computing side. I have to do some more reading... Merry Christmas to everyone on the list!

I haven't started my own server there yet, but have looked into the security model they have in place, and it's quite a bit more robust than you would expect from your average virtual hosting provider. They have tons of documentation online explaining the whole security model for S3 - I recommend reading up on it. - Chris Merkel 2008/12/23 Arch Angel <arch3angel at gmail.com>:Hello Everyone, I just had a client ask me to setup an Instance in Amazon EC2 to be the platform for a web site site that will ultimately be a place were up and coming artists auction off their work. This site will include members sections with profiles, galleries, a shopping cart, most like a forum at some point and the more I read into Amazon EC2 or other technologies such as this cloud computing I begin to question its security and the safety of the users. What are everyone's thoughts on this cloud computing? Do we know of any vulnerabilities with this technology? Suggestions to best secure a site such as this on a cloud computed platform? Thanks everyone!!! _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com_______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
