Amazon Web Services links for 2008-05-12
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
