BotchagalupeMarks for August 19th – 23:42
By John | August 21, 2009
These are my links for August 19th through August 20th:
- ElasticVapor :: Life in the Cloud: Fixing Major Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities in the Cloud – This latest Linux Kernel vulnerability is another prime example of the challenges facing cloud service providers and their customers. To help reduce this risk later this year Enomaly will deliver the first generation of our security technology, which will help customers to achieve a level of security in the cloud equivalent to what they have inside their data centers today.
- Why Private Cloud Will Make IT Think Like Wal-Mart – CIO.com – Business Technology Leadership – Public. Private. Hybrid. Cloudburst. Much of the discussion about cloud computing focuses on deployment options and choices, with a surprisingly large number of enterprises inclining toward internal private clouds—that is, a cloud-capable infrastructure residing within a company's own data center. A just-published survey by Evans Data supports this trend, indicating that 30 percent of developers (sample = 500) are currently working on projects that will run in private clouds (Important: the article notes that this is probably skewed, as the survey participants are self-selected).
- Amazon Web Services Blog: Lower Pricing for Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances – Our customers are putting the Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances to use in many different ways. Here are some of the usage patterns that they've told us about:

- Brian Aker discusses Drizzle, DB for the Cloud « Barton’s Blog – On the first day of Open Source World/Cloud World/Etc World I attended Brian Aker’s talk entitled “Drizzle, Rethinking MySQL for the Web.” For those not in the know, Drizzle is a reworking of the MySQL database to slim it down and make it more appropriate for web-infrastructure and cloud computing . I caught up with Brian after his talk to learn a little bit more about Drizzle, where its come from and where its going.
- Mass-scale computing: Why Hadoop is hot but Java is not | VentureBeat – So what if I told you that the Hadoop platform and Java-based Hadoop applications are 30% less efficient by nature than anything Google has, purely from a software standpoint? That’d be a big deal for a company in any industry, aspiring to scale massively right? Yet, this is what I found, and it’s due to the inefficiencies of Java vs C++. First, Java hogs extra resources (cache, memory, CPU cycles), a fact that doesn’t always show up well in single benchmark tests, but does show up clearly when multiple Java benchmarks compete for resources at the same time
