Hi all, I've been assigned to evaluate AWS as an alternative to our current colocation situation and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any reports detailing the regularity, or lack thereof, of security incidents at AWS. I have been positing to the "deciders" an analogy of colos being like hot tubs... some you just don't want to go near, and Amazon makes me a nervous, so I'm looking for some hard data on rates of viral infestations, DDoS's on the network, script kiddy attacks on servers, etc. Anyone know of any resources for me, or have comments one way or the other?
