BotchagalupeMarks for July 15th – 12:28
By John | July 17, 2009
These are my links for July 15th through July 16th:
- JAVAMATION: Hadoop Studio : A map-reduce development environment (IDE) based on Netbeans – Hadoop Studio is a map-reduce development environment (IDE) based on Netbeans. It makes it easy to create, understand, and debug map-reduce applications based on Hadoop, without requiring development-time access to a map-reduce cluster. The studio provides a real-time workflow view of a map-reduce job, which displays the individual inputs, outputs, and interactions between the phases of a map-reduce job. The workflow view of a job updates in real time with the developer's code changes. It then generates Java sources and compiles them into a binary jar file, which can be run on a normal Hadoop cluster.
- Nextgov – GSA to launch online storefront for cloud computing services – The General Services Administration plans to launch an online storefront that agencies can use to purchase computing services that are stored and maintained by third-party providers, federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra said on Wednesday.
- Stack Overflow Architecture | High Scalability – It's not a binary question (to SQL or Not to SQL)
- It Must be Crap on Relational Dabases Week | High Scalability – It's hard to be a relational database lately. After years of faithful service everywhere you look the world is turning against you:
- Microsoft’s and Amazon’s Cloud Strategies Face Open Source Challenges – Microsoft has announced pricing for the components of its Azure cloud computing platform, as GigaOm reports, and you can watch a video about Azure here. As expected, consumption-based computing costs are slightly lower than Amazon's costs, but, as The Register reports, Amazon's Linux-based service undercuts Microsoft's Windows pricing.
- The Real Story about Cisco’s “One Giant Switch” View of the Datacenter – Maybe a fox in the hen house? Not sure…
- Nati Shalom’s Blog: Platform as a Service: The Next Generation Application Server? – Unlike most of the existing application servers it was designed for massive scaling from day one. Another big difference is in the way it is being consumed. With PaaS you don’t need to install any software and go through all the hoops to setup a cluster environment etc. PaaS is provided as a hosted service that is pre-configured and installed. You get a production ready environment right at the start.
