Multi region failover is seriously inhibited with their current VPC setup as cross-region traffic is ridiculously complicated to get working. We are on the "EC2 Original" setup with a Cassandra cluster operating over regions via Elastic IPs. We tried to setup a multi-region cluster on their "EC2 VPC" mode and gave up. A VPC can only span a region and currently no easy way to manage traffic between them. We looked at getting a VPN connection but the cost for a decent connection gets way prohibitive.
