During JavaOne 08, it’s been hard to update the blog. Here are below all the interesting things you may have missed.

Entries about Amazon Web Services:

• JBoss AMI – Ubuntu, Apache and JBoss. When Elastic Grid will be released, you won’t need to use a AMI per kind of application/environment you are trying to set up. More on that explained on the BoF slides and the screencast to come.
• Browser Uploads to S3 using HTML POST Forms – Interesting article from James Murty, the author of JetS3t.
• Processing Pipeline with Amazon S3, SQS, EC2, Ruby, Rails and ActiveMessaging
• Building for Performance and Reliability with Amazon SimpleDB
• SQS-EC2 Job Processor Sample – Quite similar to the demo we made during the BoF on EC2 and Elastic Grid at JavaOne 08.
• Sample application to get started with Amazon SQS and Amazon EC2
• dotCMS : Open Source Web Content Management System – Although the idea of pulling the latest version of the app from Subversion may sound interesting, I see more problems than solutions with that approach; what would happen if someone commits something broken into Subversion?
• Beta release of S3 copy feature
• Tips for Securing Your EC2 Instance
• Redundant Disk Storage Across Multiple EC2 nodes – Useful until most of us can use the Persistent Storage feature and probably still useful after that depending on your needs
