[rt-pmc] Equinox on AWS

One of the action items I took from a recent PMC meeting was to speak with Amazon about hosting Equinox and other EclipseRT technologies on EC2.  I have had the initial conversation and Amazon seems to be interested in working with us.   Right now we identified two main areas:

 

  1. Making it easy for developers to build, test and deploy Equinox based applications to an Equinox images hosted on EC2.  The main use case would be developers that are prototyping Equinox based applications but don’t want to install and maintain the server component.  Amazon has technical evangelist that could help us setup the appropriate images.  We might also be able to work with the team at Amazon that has created Eclipse plugins for EC2.
  2. The other area was scalability testing.  Amazon is working with some load testing tools but is open to others.  Are there specific types of load testing tools that people use for testing RAP or Equinox?

 

The next step is for 1-2 technical people from the EclispeRT team to have a phone call with the Amazon technical people.  Is there anyone that wants to volunteer to help push this forward?

 

Thanks

Ian
