Third-Party AWS Tracking Sites

Friday, December 18th, 2009

http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2009/12/thirdparty-aws-tracking-sites.html

A couple of really cool third-party AWS tracking sites have sprung up lately. Some of these sites make use of AWS data directly and others measure it using their own proprietary methodologies. I don’t have any special insight in to the design or operation of these sites, but at first glance they appear to be reasonably accurate.

In source your EC2 instances

If you have built a killer application on Amazon Web Services, you may reach a point where you don’t want to continue to use them. I can think of any number of reasons you may want to migrate your servers.

It may be because you’ve reached the 20 server instance, or because you want more control, or because you want to buy your own machines and spend money on a system administrator instead of paying Amazon, or because there’s something that you need customized that’s ‘behind the curtain’ of AWS.

CloudSplit

http://cloudsplit.com/

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.

Provisioning a Hudson CI server

CI in a box and Hudson.

http://thediscoblog.com/2009/11/24/provisioning-a-hudson-ci-server/

http://www.ciinabox.com/

CI in a Box is one of the easiest ways to get up and running with Continuous Integration– in fact, if you don’t believe me, check out the CI in a Box tutorial video. As you’ll see, CI in a Box makes setting up a Hudson CI server practically a breeze by leveraging Amazon’s EC2; what’s more, the video quickly sets up an SVN project that contains an Ant build (don’t worry, CI in a Box supports Maven as well!).

Taps for Easy Database Transfers

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

http://adam.blog.heroku.com/past/2009/2/11/taps_for_easy_database_transfers/

Migrating databases from one server to another is a pain: mysqldump on old server -> gzip -> scp big dump file -> gunzip -> mysql. It takes a long time, and is very manual and (and thus error-prone), and generally has the stink of “lame” hanging about it.

Ricardo Chimal, Blake Mizerany and I cooked up our attempt at a solution to this problem: Taps.

Webslug was conceived as an all encompassing way of testing site performance. It measures load time as the user sees it. The time it takes for a page to load fully from when the request was made.

The main benefit of Webslug is that it doesn’t require any download or any program to be installed. Just enter your website’s address and it’s all done in your browser.

Rsync to Amazon S3

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

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.
