Eucalyptus

MichaelBiven — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 05:55:57 PDT

EUCALYPTUS - Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. The current interface to EUCALYPTUS is compatible with Amazon's EC2 interface, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. EUCALYPTUS is implemented using commonly-available Linux tools and basic Web-service technologies making it easy to install and maintain.

Engine Yard Express

MichaelBiven — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:28:23 PDT

The new Engine Yard Express VMWare image. This is a replica of an EY slice that you can download and use locally whether you are an EY customer or not. When you boot it up it will autotune mysql to use the proper amount of ram, boot up a merb and a rails app along with nginx and monit et all. It will give you a user/pass and show you the IP address as part of the boot process. So just boot it up and peek at the IP address on port 80 and port 81, the index pages of the rails and the merb app have detailed instruction on how to get a deploy.rb and deploy your own code.

Ma.tt » Infrastructure as Competitive Advantage

MichaelBiven — Thu, 08 May 2008 08:10:05 PDT

There’s an interesting post at GigaOM: Web 2.0, Please Meet Your Host, the Internet. It’s a good read, though could be shorter, but a few things struck me after reading it. I don’t disagree with him per se, I just think the emphasis is on the wrong thing. (Probably for effect.)
