Would be interesting if it would take less than 40s to load a page.

I think that HN traffic killed it. Kind of ironic, considering the subject of the site.

...or not. It's actually a good example that you can't "cloud" yourself into high availability.

6 mentions of 'cloud' in the intro. 13 from the back cover. This sounds like a buzzword extravaganza rather than anything particularly useful. Has anyone read this that can comment? Is it just re-branded knowledge about distributed systems?

Cloud isn't any more a buzzword than Internet is a buzzword or network or cumputer were buzzwords before that. From what I can see it looks pretty decent, just costs and arm and a leg like most books from Springer. If anything it will likely be quite dry and academic with lots of references.

Since it's down, I copied the structure to http://slexy.org/view/s21qaUuBBg

I think they've got a great list of concepts, but I don't believe the hierarchy is particularly useful.

Can't reach or speak for the content, since the site is down, heh.
