Amazon AWS has recently released functionality on EC2 that:
- creates the notion of static IP addresses that are associated with an AWS account - not just an EC2 instance. Address is static and can be associated with your running instance.
- allow specification of instance availability zones, you can make sure your instances are spread across different physical locations for improved resiliency.

I used this Firefox extension to control my running instances and it would be great to include these features.
