MySql Storage Engine for Amazon S3

On Scribd, I found the following presentation on using Amazon S3 as a storage medium for MySQL 5.1. Exciting stuff as S3 can act as a infinite disk. If it works out, it's going to be very valuable for MySQL running on EC2 as file system storage on a EC2 instance is gone once the instance goes down.

Amzon S3 & Other Storage as A Service Providers

Amazon S3 has been out for a while. And the competition is heating up in the storage as a service market.

S3 in general:

99.9% service level guarrantee (only have had SLA recently since Oct. 8th, 2007)
no worry of hardware failure, data redundancy
one and only one master secret key. I would like to be able to create separate secret key for different applications so if one application got compromised, other applications won't be compromised
can't control bandwidth overage. Can be a real problem if your competitors are leeching your S3 bandwidth that you pay for every bit
