Cloud Update

Update: As of 3:15 PM, the URI! Zone is now IN THE CLOUD! Let me know if you run into any issues.

I'm actually very close to finishing up this cloud migration, as shown in my plan below (after step 7, the URI! Zone will officially be floating through the stratosphere with little fluffy wings akin to a Windows 3.1 flying toaster screensaver).

I reduced some of the server costs by opting to not roll my own JIRA installation, and used the savings to invest in a site-wide SSL certificate. This will give you a +1 to trusting me, and also pave the way for The URI! Store, where I'll sell llamas and llama paraphernalia over HTTPS.

I'm hoping to finish up tonight to bring the site good luck, because there are thunderstorms in the local forecast, and the cloud is more tangible when it's raining. The actual switch-flipping point from old to new should be seamless, but seamless things never truly are, so apologies in advance if there's a bit of downtime!
