Lies that cloud APIs tell

Abstract:

Amazon, rackspace and other top tier cloud hosting providers have quite comprehensive apis, however these apis have a far lower QoS than their hosting services, are eventually consistent (inconsistent?) in many places, and can be generally very very hard to work with if you get too carried away building on them. I got too carried away using them, and thought other people would like to hear about this (having said that, they are an excellent tool, but there are trick and traps to avoid so your application works well)
