Meta: There are lots of very good VPS providers around like Vultr, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc., but none are able to compete with EC2 on the storage front. Backblaze should partner with or even create one that leverages its immense storage capability to provide S3 and EBS competition integrated with a cloud offering. That would be awesome, since EC2 actually kind of sucks on the compute and network front (slow, flaky, no IPv6).
