Jeffrey emailed me about this a little earlier.  When we were running in the Beta this wasn't exposed and no one would really talk about "where" these were running.  I'm glad to see that has changed.

Thanks,

@John: by default amazon api tools will run new instances in US and if you want to to use the EU you will have to manually define this, like: export EC2_URL=https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com  Regardless of that, you can define where you want your instance to run using the -z option when starting ec2-run-instances:      -z, --availability-zone ZONE           Specifies the availability zone to launch the instances in. Run the           'ec2-describe-availability-zones' command for a list of values, and           see the latest Developer's Guide for their meanings. ec2-describe-availability-zones AVAILABILITYZONE        us-east-1a      available       us-east-1 AVAILABILITYZONE        us-east-1b      available       us-east-1 AVAILABILITYZONE        us-east-1c      available       us-east-1  hth, - Marius -  On Dec 10, 7:37 pm, John Martin <john.mar...@eddlabs.com> wrote:   

That's why we only run our Cloud across 3 data centers - DC / Texas / Washington.  Keeps it all within our own borders and laws but still gives geographic dispersion.  With EC2 I don't think that there is a way to decide where the instance is running every time.  -- *John Martin* ESI Expert Witness  *EDDLabs, Inc.* <http://www.EDDLabs.com> 11874 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 200-A <http://maps.google.com/maps?q=+11874+Sunrise+Valley+Drive%2C+Suite+20...> Reston, VA 20191 USA         *Work:* 703.481.5550 *Mobile:* 703.798.4374 *Email:* john.mar...@eddlabs.com <mailto:john.mar...@eddlabs.com>  Jan Klincewicz wrote:     

I understand from my customers in Canada that the US "Patriot Act" has very serious consequences for non-US firms considering U.S. Hosted cloud providers.

One of the commenters makes an interesting point about the US vs. EU laws on gambling (that it may now be legal to host gambling services on EC2 if it is in the EU region?).         

What other differences in laws between the US and EU are relevant here?
