- Amazon launches virtual private clouds « RightScale Blog – This evening Amazon launched a new service called “VPC”, which stands for Virtual Private Cloud, read the details on the product page and the AWS blog, plus a nice backgrounder on Werner Vogel’s blog. The short story is that it allows anyone to spin up a private enclave within Amazon’s infrastructure. This allows VPC users to segregate their EC2 instances from “the masses” and get a VPN connection from their own data center to their VPC, which then looks like a part of their internal network. Exciting stuff and we’ll have support for VPCs in RightScale real soon.
- Seamlessly Extending the Data Center – Introducing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud – All Things Distributed – At this 3rd anniversary of the launch of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), it is amazing to see the impact this service has had on the industry. It is truly disruptive technology and its impact has reached far beyond a pure technology offering as the benefits of the cloud have changed the way we view IT Infrastructure. As one of the CIOs at the ACM Cloud Computing Roundtable summarized it: "IT used to be the blocker in anything we did, but with our shift to the cloud IT is now the enabler." From young businesses and established enterprises to hospitals and governments agencies, all are equally enthusiastic cloud customers for whom IT infrastructure has changed forever.
- Amazon Virtual Private Cloud – Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is a secure and seamless bridge between a company’s existing IT infrastructure and the AWS cloud. Amazon VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources.
