Elastic Grid announces a Java API for Rackspace Cloud Servers

August 2nd, 2009 by jeje, posted in Press Releases, elastic rack, rackspace

Elastic Grid, LLC is pleased to announce the Elastic Rack project.

As part of Elastic Grid project commitment to provide a cloud virtualization layer, the Elastic Grid team was in need of a Java API which would drive the Rackspace Cloud Servers API. This Java API is now available as a separate bundle in the Elastic Rack project.

This open-source project aims to provide Java APIs to the Rackspace Cloud APIs so that Java developers can easily call Rackspace APIs. As of today, there is only experimental support for Cloud Servers API.

The project is hosted on Google Code at: http://elastic-rack.googlecode.com. The issues tracker is available on Jira at: http://jira.elastic-grid.com/browse/ER.

Elastic Grid talk at Profict Java Spring Camp

June 7th, 2009 by jeje, posted in Press Releases, elastic grid

I will do a presentation of Elastic Grid at Profict Java Spring Camp in June, 19th. The two hours time-slot will give way more time than usually so I will be able demonstrate some few deployments made on EC2.

Feel free to join nearby Amsterdam and enjoy at the same time a beautiful place with a barbecue at the end of the day.

You can both subscribe and get more information on the Profict Java Spring Camp website.

Elastic Grid BoF at JavaOne 09

May 30th, 2009 by jeje, posted in Press Releases, elastic grid

Dennis Reedy will do a joint-presentation with one of our customers, Ronald Bowers, working for the Army Research Lab, during JavaOne 09. This BoF is schedule on Wednesday, June, 3rd at 7:45pm.

Here is the abstract of the session called Cloud Computing and NetBeans™ IDE Enable Army Research Lab’s Next-Generation Simulation System

This presentation provides an overview of how the Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL’s) MUVES 3 project is using cloud computing and the NetBeans™ IDE rich-client platform (RCP). It reviews the MUVES 3 architecture, along with the Java™ technologies that are used to develop it. The session also shows how the combination of a NetBeans IDE RCP client application with a dynamic, service-oriented architecture (SOA) back end can be used to construct sophisticated, high-performance environments. It also discusses the MUVES 3 team’s experiences in performing continuous integration by using Hudson and testing the system on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud with Elastic Grid.

ARL analyzes combat system survivability and munition lethality against enemy systems. The goal of the MUVES 3 project is to develop an integrated environment to support this analysis mission. On the server side, the MUVES 3 system must be capable of executing concurrent simulation jobs, supporting a large analyst community. Although national security concerns prohibit running an actual MUVES 3 analysis on the cloud, the system architecture can be tested on it. This enables ARL to test MUVES 3 and evaluate system performance, scalability, and fault tolerance across numerous computers cost-effectively. The NetBeans IDE RCP provides the framework on which the MUVES 3 user interfaces are built. It is used both as a client platform to the cloud and as a client to the massively scalable simulation system.

Typica 1.5 released! No easier way to use AWS in Java

February 5th, 2009 by jeje, posted in amazon ec2, amazon fps, amazon sdb, typica

Typica 1.5 has just been released.

This version brings a lot of new stuff like:

  • EC2 enhancements: support for EU and regions,
  • SDB enhancements: support for SQL like grammar (select, etc.),
  • Bug fixes…
  • … and of course the FPS API we’ve been working on.

As Amazon announced plenty of FPS Quick Starts, you now don’t have any excuse for not using the FPS API when developing in Java.

Support for Amazon FPS in Typica

January 20th, 2009 by jeje, posted in amazon fps, typica

The support for the Amazon FPS API in Typica has been updated in Subversion a few days ago. The support for this API should be available anytime soon within the next release of Typica.

As the FPS API is quite rich and offer lots of different use, feedback is critical in order to test and qualify properly the added support.
