Hi Guys,

I know that officially RAC is not supported in EC2 but I'm wondering what
will prevent it from running in VPC EC2.

There are private network interfaces and OpenFiler can provide iSCSI
devices - I didn't have a chance to test it yet. Is there any showstopper
which I missed ?

regards,
Marcin
