In a sense, computers have always been about *"big data"*. Although *"big data"* is probably more a marketing term than a technical one, we must acknowledge that we are at a threshold where data mining can be done on such amounts that new approaches are emerging.

Using the local storage of an EC2 container is risky: data loss occurs when a container is stopped and it is not replicated by default.
