⇒ Amazon Developer Connection: Why S3 Failed.
The authentication cluster was overloaded, and improperly monitored. Complex systems are like that, never know where the problems will arise. Good clear communication, but it should have been on the AWS blog.

⇒ Amazon SQS Drops Price By 10,000%?.
At the cost of reducing packet size to 8k, retention time to 4 days, and buffer size to 10 messages. Some folks will complain but it certainly looks like it sets the service up to compete better with installing your own MQ.

⇒ Amazon.com: SimpleDB.
Building the Cloud Castle(tm), one brick at a time. Very similar set of operations to CouchDb, but without Couch’s views. Nice SimpleDB vs CouchDb side by side comparison. And more info from someone whose been playing with it longer.

Some EC2, Fedora, Rails, Mongrel, Memcached Links

April 12th, 2007

I had done some futzing around with EC2, but ExpoCal is the first web app I’ve brought up and run on it. Also my first outing with Fedora. Some links:

Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide - very approachable walk through on get EC2 up and running
How I Set Up My EC2 Instance for Rails & Litespeed - bit more specific instructions, not entirely accurate
Fedora Core 6 Lite Base Image - simple, actively used AMI. The Debian images came with too many caveats.
Changing your mysql data directory - /mnt is the new /var
Dead Simple Deployment (with Mongrel and Rails) - basic Mongrel cluster instructions.
Time For A Grown-Up Server: Rails, Mongrel, Apache, Capistrano and You - never had much luck with Pen and co — Apache2’s proxying modules rawk!
Fedora memcache + drupal walkthrough - memcached on Fedora
Howto: rpmbuild - sudo yum install fedora-rpmdevtools
My Rails Toolbox

Also some yum’ed packages:

yum install sudo gcc ruby ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-rdoc ruby-irb ruby-ri ruby-docs ruby-devel rsync ruby-mysql.i386 mysql mysql-devel mysql-server mysql-admin httpd-devel apr apr-devel apr-util-devel subversion libevent

Amazon EC2: Still working on the “elastic” part?

August 24th, 2006

I’ve been waiting for an Amazon compute cluster ever since S3 came out, and like Les I tried, and failed, to sign up for EC2 beta as soon as I got the email. What all you freaks were doing up around 5am signing up for webservices I’ll never know.

Nik over at TechCrunch however ran the numbers, and its looking more like what I get from John Companies, and less like the great mapreduce grid in the sky I was hoping for.
