BotchagalupeMarks for November 30th – 22:09
By John | December 4, 2009
These are my links for November 30th through December 3rd:
- Powerful New Amazon EC2 Boot Features – All Things Distributed – Today a powerful new feature is available for our Amazon EC2 customers: the ability to boot their instances from Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store).
Customers like the simplicity of the AMI (Amazon Machine Image) model where they either choose a preconfigured AMI or upload their own AMI into Amazon S3. A wide variety of operating systems and software configurations is available for use. But customers have also asked us for more flexibility and control in the way that Amazon EC2 instances are booted such that they have finer grained control over for example what software configurations and data sets are available to the instance at boot time.
- Installation – Scalr Documentation – Package names and installation methods vary. Consult the OS-specific installation guide if provided. A list of available OS-specific guides can be found at OS Specific Installation Guides.
- Phurnace Recognized as a “Comprehensive Solution” in the Automation Space – Phurnace Deliver™, the company’s flagship product, provides comprehensive support for IT operations staff and developers during complex enterprise Java deployments to decrease errors, streamline deployments and avoid the downtime and outages that come with manual or script-based processes. The product also troubleshoots and identifies problems and then remediates immediately. The current user approach of paging through the console or building cumbersome scripts can be reduced or eliminated with Phurnace, therefore freeing up limited IT resources for more value-added tasks.
