Online backups for the truly paranoid
Tarsnap is a secure online backup service for BSD, Linux, OS X, Solaris, Cygwin, and can probably be compiled on many other UNIX-like operating systems. The tarsnap client code provides a flexible and powerful command-line interface which can be used directly or via shell scripts.
At the present time, tarsnap does not support Windows (except via Cygwin) and does not have a graphical user interface.

CloudSplit is the first company to offer a real time view on what is happening on your Amazon grid from a cost perspective. We can all understand that cloud computing can significantly reduce our infrastructure spend, but even cloud costs can mount up if we use our clouds carelessly.
CloudSplit will ensure you don’t accidentally overspend, by tracking your cloud spending in real-time and giving you clear graphical breakdowns of how those costs were accrued.

Do you want your Drupal front page to render in less than a second? Do you want your site to be fast for logged in as well as for anonymous users? Do you want to have total confidence in your ability to weather the storms of internet fortune (e.g. links from Digg, Drudge, Slashdot or MSN.com)? If so, then we hope the Mercury project will be of interest to you.
The goal of this project is to make Drupal as fast as possible for as many people as possible. To that end, we are developing a pre-built Amazon Machine Image (AMI) which will allow anyone with an Amazon Web Services account to spin up an EC2 instance and see how all this works in real-time. The ultimate goal is a production-ready release that can be used for deploying real websites.

awsui is your complete solution for managing all of your Amazon Web Services. Amazon’s AWS Management Console exposes some basic functionality – awsui provides comprehensive access to all services in the AWS suite – including SQS, Auto Scaling, SimpleDB and S3.
We take all of the complicated commands and simplify them by providing dropdowns, checkboxes, and logical ordering. With just a few drop-down selections you can launch ten new EC2 instances – and turn them off just as easily.
No emails to confirm – just enter your AWS credentials and go!

The cloud allows us to fire up new servers in a matter of minutes.
What it doesn’t allow is for easy configuration and deployment.
Yet.

http://www.s3rsync.com/index.php/Rsync_to_Amazon_S3
The problem:
S3 storage protocol is “all or nothing” meaning that you can not modify a file on S3 and even for a minor change you have to upload (S3 PUT) the whole file again. This implies that backup and synchronization to S3 are inefficient. Any file modification forces you to upload the whole new file again, not just what was changed. So you are wasting bandwidth and the backup process is significantly slower!
Our solution:
S3rsync resolves this limitation and allows you to use Rsync bandwidth efficient algorithm that enables to upload only partial files that were changed. This is done by connecting to our Rsync servers located inside Amazon facility (Ec2). Using this functionality enables you to fully benefit from Rsync power.

The aim of BitNami is to simplify the deployment of web applications, such as wikis or blogs, in order to make them more accessible. There are a lot of high quality open source software packages that aren’t used as much as they could be because getting them up and running can be a complex process. We want to change that!
