Thinking a bit more about this ....

I have no experience using VMs, other than a bit of learning a few 
months back.  Thus I'm not real familiar with moving VM instances.

But what about a situation where flood waters are rising at one data 
center?  How much better would it be to be able to move VM instances to 
an alternate data center vs just shutting down the local data center and 
letting existing VMS instances at alternate data centers continue to run?

Seems to me to not be much of an advantage, but what do I know?
