Computing in the Clouds with AWS

Posted on July 25th, 2008 by Tim Bass

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:

Maybe you will elevate your event processing application to the clouds?
