Anyone using highly scalable applications in Amazon Web Services (AWS) now has some options for load balancing: NGINX or NGINX Plus AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), now called Classic Load Balancer The new application loader, described by Amazon as an option for Elastic load balancing. The new option is described in a blog post and in product documentation.

With millions of customers and a host of entry-level services that help organizations quickly navigate the cloud, it's no wonder organizations are moving critical applications and services to the EC2 cloud computing cloud. But even Amazon is not immune to hardware failures, natural disasters or other system outages. Before you spin, review the AWS bootstrap for fault tolerance and redundancy in EC2.Fault Tolerance & Redundancy: The Same, but DifferentFirst up? Define the difference between redundant and fault tolerant solutions. Although the terms are certainly linked - and often used interchangeably - they are not exactly the same. And while there is no strict rule regarding definitions, the generally accepted answer is: Components - such as drives, racks, or servers - are redundant. Systems - such as disk networks or cloud computing networks - are fault tolerant. In other words, redundant means having more than one thing in case the first instance fails. Hav...

Five Ingenious Ways You Can Do With Pace Of Research Is No Longer Limited By The Availability Of IT Resources.. Researchers are starting to rely on cloud computing to drive decisive science at difficult speeds, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) wants to fuel the pace of new discoveries by allowing all scientists to have their own supercomputers in the cloud. Today, AWS is committed to making it easier for scientists to use their storage, cloud computing, and database services, by foregoing the cost of producing data for qualified researchers and academic clients; These are fees associated with the transfer of AWS data to the Internet. The maximum reduction is 15% of total monthly expenses on AWS services, which is several times the usual use of our research clients. However, there is no cost to download data to AWS, or move data between Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). The agreement was backed by ongoing discussions wi...

As more Chromebooks are enabled with Google Play, it's a good time to optimize your Android app for Chromebooks to reach a wider audience.

A professional blog is a great way to showcase your projects and expertise in a consolidated place. There are a plethora of blog options to choose from including Medium, Blogger, Tumblr, Wordpress and more. When I created my blog, I decided to explore my options. I eventually landed on The Ghost Blogging Platform for several reasons, but mostly because it is open source and is maintained by rad types. Hosting your own professional or personal blog with Ghost can be a bit more work than the likes of Blogger or Tumblr, but it is rewarding and gives you better control over your environment. After I decided to use Ghost as my blogging platform, I needed to find a way to host my blog. I chose to use a micro-instance provided by Amazon AWS. By coincidence, by looking at the Amazon AWS Marketplace I found several prepackaged AMI's that were instances of AWS EC2 with Ghost pre-installed. After a bit of research, I decided to use the EC2 instance with Bitnami Ghost. In this guide, I...

Brittany Doncaster, Solutions Architect Business continuity is important to create critical workloads for AWS. As an AWS client, you can set recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time goals (RTOs) for different level applications in your organization. Once the RPO and RTO requirements are defined, it is up to your architects to determine how to meet these requirements. You are probably storing persistent data in Amazon's EBS volumes, which live in a single availability area. And by following best practices, you take snapshots of your EBS volumes to back up the data on Amazon S3, which offers a sustainability of 11.9. If you follow these best practices, you have probably recognized the need to manage the number of snapshots that you keep for a particular EBS volume and remove old and unnecessary snapshots. Doing this cleaning saves on storage costs. Some customers also have policies indicating that backups should be stored at a certain number of miles as part ...
