EC2 Reliability

I'm not so worried about it myself, but I've integrated some EC2 monitoring into my Nagios system. I'm going to keep an eye on it for a while. I'd like to see how reliable it is. In the few months that I've been running EC2's, I haven't had one crash (but the most uptime I've seen is about 1.5 months) and I haven't had connectivity issues.

So far, I've been monitoring it for about 17 hours with no issues. That's a ping every 5 minutes from a GT data center in Vancouver to wherever the Amazon cloud really lives. I'll try to do a weekly update, or at least monthly.
