Computing in the Clouds with AWS
The admin team at The UNIX Forums have been considering moving the UNIX and Linux Forums to the clouds – the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Amazon EC2 is one option to scale the forums, which is a LAMP application.
Amazon EC2 allows us to rent dedicated servers (instances) on-demand to run applications, such as the forums. Then we can run and host on EC2 any Linux application; but unlike classic hosting where folks install your application and set up your server for you, Amazon Web Services provide only the infrastructure.
Here are some links about AWS:
- Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide
- Amazon EC2 Developer Resources
- Frequently Asked Questions for Amazon EC2
- AWS Developer Resource Center
- EC2 Articles and Tutorials
- EC2 Solutions Catalog
- Firefox Extension for Amazon EC2
- EC2 Forum
Maybe you will elevate your event processing application to the clouds?
