AWS Rocks! And Rocks for Eclipse now too!
Sitting here in the second keynote at EclipseCon, Peter Vosshall from Amazon and Don MacAskill from SmugMug are giving a fantastic talk about Amazon Web Services and their use at Smug Mug.
I’ve always been a huge fan of AWS, it’s a well thought through and complete model of pay per cycle CPU, pay per use storage, access to additional services like payment processing, even Mechanical Turk to get people to do things like put items in boxes.
As much as I want to talkabout how cool all that is, the big announcement close our community is the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse! Free, open source, available now, it allows you to deploy, debug, and monitor your application to AWS. It’s an extension of Web Tools Platform. Jason Fulghum at Amazon did an awesome demo of deploying the cloud, right here on stage.
Details:
- Plugin for Eclipse, targeted for Tomcat applications running in the cloud
- Make it seemless to build in Eclipse and deploy to EC2
- Remote debug
Manage:
- How many instances are you running?
- Securty groups
- Manage amazon machine images
- Block store resources
This is extremely exciting for application development in general and Eclipse in particular!
