A New Approach to Amazon #EC2 Networking: - New VPC wizard, subnets, access control, routing tables #aws /by @jeffbarr

"This tutorial will get you started with Cloud9 on Amazon's EC2 (running the simple word count demo). For a gentler introduction to Hadoop, or if you don't feel like experimenting with EC2, try my tutorial on getting started in standalone mode. This tutorial assumes you've already downloaded the libraries and gotten it set up."

"Cloud9 is a MapReduce library for Hadoop designed to serve as both a teaching tool and to support research in data-intensive text processing. MapReduce is a programming model for expressing distributed computations on massive datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data processing on clusters of commodity servers. Hadoop provides an open-source implementation of the programming model. The library itself is available on github and distributed under the Apache License.

For additional details on MapReduce algorithm design, Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce by Lin and Dyer is a good resource. This library also serves as a repository of many examples discussed in the book."

ubuntu AMIs

Looking forward to Jurg's O'Reilly book on Amazon EC2 love the tagline "survive your success" :)

Superfamily is available as an #ec2 AMI (cc @mza)

ere's a script to install Geoserver proxied through apache for when you want to throw up a quick map server. The script installs Geoserver 2.02 on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 using ami-cef405a7.

Drop.io is now 100% in 'the cloud'

I've put together versions of both modules that are usable from within GAE. The module for talking to S3 is a simple patch of Amazon's boilerplate module to use GAE's URL fetcher instead of urllib. The SQSUrlBuilder module is a factory for generating properly signed queue-manipulation URLs.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) - Beta

Ruby on Rails 2.x Elastic Server

RightScale's AWS gems provide Ruby interfaces to four key Amazon Web Services: EC2, S3, SQS, and SDB. An optional robust HTTP layer retries and clears transient errors. Please see the project home page for documentation.

rubyworks-ec2 is a collection of Capistrano 2.0 recipes and utilities for automating Ruby on Rails application deployment on Amazon EC2.

A rails plugin that makes it easy to create, configure, deploy and scale-up a multi-instance deployment to Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) using Capistrano.

This is a public server image for Amazon’s EC2 hosting service that’s ready to run a Ruby on Rails application with little or no customization. Basically it’s a Ruby on Rails virtual appliance.

The part I found interesting was the first detailed description of using the MapReduce model to run large-scale Expectation Maximization (EM) computations in parallel. An implementation of this on Hadoop and Amazon EC2 will let you tackle some large scale

...a Pre-configured Ruby On Rails Stack AMI that "just simply works". Public AMIs are pre-packaged, pre-configured, compressed file-system blobs that are stored on Amazon S3 which can be instantiated by any Amazon EC2 user.
