Man, that&#x27;s weird, I wonder what was different between our implementations.  Our original POCs were about 4 months ago, and they were on EC2 at the time.  We had plenty of other technical issues (don&#x27;t get me started on SSL), but running on EC2 was never one of them.<p>That said, I&#x27;m curious how you managed to get an email conversation going with the team - the whole crux of the original article by Lawrence (and the forum thread which it cites) is that there&#x27;s no way to have a direct conversation with anyone representing Alexa, so certification is a crapshoot.
