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.

Elastic Grid team will do a talk for QCon London 09, titled Dynamic deployment and scalability for the cloud on March, 10th at 3:30pm.

The abstract for this session:

Cloud Computing providers allow a fantastic way to deploy scalable machine images easily and on demand. However, there is a finer grain of scalability that must be provided, allowing individual application assets to easily scale to meet the demands of a running system. Our session discusses the Elastic Grid, an approach that provides dynamic allocation, management and scalability of applications through the cloud.

Intrinsic to the Elastic Grid are a set of dynamic capabilities and reliance on Policy-based and Quality of Service mechanisms that extend capabilities currently found in available cloud computing technologies.

Being able to inject rules & policies into cloud focused infrastructure allows greater automation, scalability and controlled behavior. Ultimately, cloud based deployments can provide advanced capabilities surrounding self-healing, self optimization & self configuration. The Elastic Grid provides an approach using a cloud focused Domain Specific Language to declaratively include behavior as SLA policy declarations.

Discover how to easily deploy your Java applications (but not only!) on the Cloud (especially Amazon EC2) during this BoF with both an introduction to how Elastic Grid ease deployments, a real demo done live and some feedback from real uses cases.
