Not without a sense of humor, the Amazon Web Services group posted about a great new service it will soon be offering, if but for a single day (Apr 1). Based on customer feedback, Amazon has "designed and [is] now introducing the Floating Amazon Cloud Environment, or FACE for short" to deliver "durable, unmanned helium-filled blimps with a capacity of 65,536 small EC2 instances, or a proportionate number of larger instances." An additional feature added for the FACE environment is support for RFC 1149, which describes a "method for the encapsulation of IP datagrams in avian carriers." Go Amazon.
