A site like Friendster is deployed on 37 clustered mySQL servers on a LAMP stack, and serves over a billion queries a day.<br />

Could that just be migrated to Amazon ECS and all done? Can a site with that kind of performance requirement be more easily implemented these days in the cloud?<br />

Pros and cons of deploying to the cloud

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
