[web-devel] Try AWS ELBs - even if you don't need the load balancing (was Re: [Yesod] Initial SSL support for Warp

[Max Cantor]

About load balancing, I strongly recommend that AWS EC2 deployments use the amazon ELBs.  even if you don't need a load balancer (and their load balancing capabilities are really awesome) they provide a very well testing, incredibly simple to set up SSL endpoint.
