Tuesday, June 24th, 2008JumpBox on Amazon EC2
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008https://www.jumpbox.com/node/1240
You can now run JumpBoxes on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Amazon EC2 can be thought of as a big virtualization system in the internet cloud that you pay for by the hour. So instead of running a JumpBox on your hardware you use Amazon’s hardware and just pay for what you need.
There are four beta JumpBox AMIs:
- JumpBox for MediaWiki - AMI: ami-71ab4f18
- JumpBox for Wordpress - AMI: ami-0eb45067
- JumpBox for Movable Type - AMI: ami-6aac4803
- JumpBox for Bugzilla - AMI: ami-70ab4f19
These are currently available as public AMIs on the Amazon system so if you have an Amazon EC2 account you should be able to launch them using any tool that can launch EC2 instances. If you don’t have an Amazon EC2 account you can easily signup for one using any Amazon account.
Do you spend your time in a cloud or a walled garden ?
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Billy Marshall (CEO rPath) thinks that walled gardens will ultimately be overshadowed by clouds because you cannot achieve webscale computing if every application has to run on a server owned by Google … The faster we take the market to cloud computing, the sooner we can kill off the walled gardens through webscale shadows that deprive them of economic sunlight.
