* A Logstash client -> Kinesis -> Logstash indexer (scale out?) -> CloudSearch
                                                                -> Redshift

* A CloudFormation template to spin up an HA NFS server setup, with drdb replication configured, volumes provisioned, and heartbeat configured and running for failover

* Define a new ECU measure that actually makes sense. An automation approach to spinning up all instance types, and run SPECint and SPECfp and generate a relative score of CPU capacity across EC2 instances.
