Today we are introducing Amazon Elastic MapReduce , our new Hadoop-based processing service. I'll spend a few minutes talking about the generic MapReduce concept and then I'll dive in to the details of this exciting new service.

Amazon Elastic MapReduce is a web service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. It utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) embodies much of what makes infrastructure as a service such a powerful technology; it enables our customers to build secure, fault-tolerant applications that can scale up and down with demand, at low cost. Core in achieving these levels of efficiency and fault-tolerance is the ability to acquire and release compute resources in a matter of minutes, and in different Availability Zones.

Announced late last year, Amazon tonight launched load balancing, monitoring, and auto-scaling for the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). These features have been requested many times by EC2 users and with this release Amazon continues to show that it listens and responds to feedback.

Wow-Wow-Wow-Wow-Wow

provides clients with access to development and production instances of IBM DB2, Informix Dynamic Server, WebSphere Portal Server, Lotus Web Content Management, WebSphere sMash and Novell's SUSE Linux operating system software in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

presentation discusses how Amazon's Web Services can help Web developers solve common but vexing problems, including scaling. The Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple DB are discussed in detail along with the Simple Queue, Simple Storage, and Flexible Payment Services. Each discussion covers basic concepts, example APIs, and brief introductions of case studies.

Amazon introduced Auto Scaling, Load Balancing and Monitoring. You don't need any third party tools any more.

WOW. Amazon introduced Auto Scaling, Load Balancing and Monitoring. You don't need any third party tools any more.

We are working to make it even easier for you to build sophisticated, scalable, and robust web applications using AWS. As soon as you launch some EC2 instances, you want visibility into resource utilization and overall performance. You want your application to be able to scale on demand based on traffic and system load. You want to spread the incoming traffic across multiple web servers for high availability and better performance. You want to focus on building an application that takes advantage of the powerful infrastructure available in the cloud, while avoiding system administration and operational burdens ("The Muck," as Jeff Bezos once called it).

Learn basic Amazon SimpleDB (SDB) concepts and explore some of the functions provided by boto, an open source Python library for interacting with SDB. In this "Cloud computing with Amazon Web Services" series, learn about cloud computing using Amazon Web Services. Explore how the services provide a compelling alternative for architecting and building scalable, reliable applications. This article introduces you to the virtual servers provided by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Learn how EC2 can help you configure your applications' computing requirements on the fly and adjust capacity based on demand.

Cloud Servers aim to provide high performance server solutions with reducing in-house utility expenses. It removes the need for expensive maintenance on traditional on-site servers. Cloud-based servers allow your company the flexibility, scalability, and elasticity you need to continually increase productivity even as your business grows.
