The team behind Amazon SimpleDB is in the process of designing and implementing a new API call. The new call will return information about a particular SimpleDB domain. They have posted the design spec to the SimpleDB forum and would be very interested in receiving some more feedback.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- much of what we do at Amazon is driven by real feedback from real customers. If you are using or are thinking about using SimpleDB, please take a look at the spec and let us know (via a post to the forum) what you think.

The folks at RightScale will be conducting a webinar on Thursday, August 28th at 10 AM PDT.

They'll focus on the recently announced Amazon Elastic Block Store, discussing application scenarios, mission-critical deployment, architecture, and design considerations. Michael Crandell (RightScale CEO) and Thorsten von Eicken (RightScale CTO) will present.

The webinar is free, but space is limited and pre-registration is recommended.
