Well, obviously you also can move OUT of EC2 ! This is a very good post of why and how they manage it. I'm not the biggest fan of full "cloud" infrastructure for the exact same reasons !

If you’ve been studying complex systems you know what minor changes might cause consequences of much greater proportions, sometimes causing some effects that are not easily explained at first.
Very nice analysis on what can hide changes and history list.

MySQL table alterations can interrupt production traffic causing bad customer experience or in worst cases, loss of revenue. Not all DBAs, developers, syadmins know MySQL well enough to avoid this pitfall.
ALTER table operations are always a pain on big tables, résulting in downtimes. Here is a good insight of how it can be done.

A deadlock in MySQL happens when two or more transactions mutually hold and request for locks, creating a cycle of dependencies. In a transaction system, deadlocks are a fact of life and not completely avoidable.
deadlocks is like prime evil !

Parallel replication is a much-expected feature of MySQL. It’s available in MariaDB 10.0 and in MySQL 5.7. Yet, both lose efficiency when replicating through intermediate masters. In this post, we’ll explain how parallel replication works and why it does not play well with intermediate masters. We’ll also offer a solution (hint: it involves Binlog Servers).
Parallel replication taking advantage of the binary log group commit optimization. Well expected feature !

In this blog post, we will discuss MySQL performance on eXFlash DIMMs. Earlier we measured the IO performance of these storage devices with sysbench fileio.EnvironmentThe benchmarking environment was the same as the one we did sysbench fileio in.
Great benchmark, with all those new storage techno, you have to figure what you'll really need before requesting a quote. IBM eXFlash and FuisionIO great storage card on the grill !

Query caching is one of the prominent features in MySQL and a vital part of query optimization. It is important to know how it works as it has the potential to cause significant performance improvements – or a slowdown – of your workload.
As we learned the hard way, MySQL query cache can be a huge bottleneck !
