An interesting post with some drawbacks of cloud computing and EC2, from those in the trenches: Real-world cloud computing.
There are some real gems here, such as:

- Cost: cloud is more expensive than real machines. Cloud is good for elastic computing, not for high constant demand.
- You need monitoring services external to your cloud!
