Running puppetshow with puppetmaster 0.24.6

I’ve been testing puppet 0.24.6 to work with puppetshow for the past few days.
And it’s been causing my brain cells damages due rails 2.2.2 which dont work with puppetshow.

I’ve posted to this to puppet group list:
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/f41ce288f49d1cb

Finally I was able to get it running by the help of Blake, Luke and others.

The gems needed are:
actionmailer (2.0.2)
actionpack (2.0.2)
activerecord (2.0.2)
activeresource (2.0.2)
activesupport (2.0.2)
daemons (1.0.10)
gem_plugin (0.2.3)
hobofields (0.7.5)
hobosupport (0.8.5)
rails (2.0.2)
rake (0.8.3)

By following the docs at but skipping the installation of hobo:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetShow

Basically, all you need is intall these via sudo command:

sudo gem install rails --version='2.0.2'
sudo gem install hobofields --version='0.7.5'
sudo gem install hobosupport

Announcing the AWS Management Console

AWS Statement:

We’re excited to announce the initial beta release of our AWS Management Console, a web-based, point-and-click, graphical user interface that makes it even easier to access and manage AWS Infrastructure Web Services. The initial release provides an online interface for Amazon EC2, with additional AWS services scheduled to be added in the coming months. The console presents an intuitive, global picture of your cloud computing environment so that you can control your AWS resources without programming directly to an API.

Access to the AWS Management Console is provided free of charge at https://console.aws.amazon.com/. We invite you to have a look, start using it to manage your applications, and tell us what you think. Feedback links are located at the bottom of each page, and we wholeheartedly welcome your suggestions, requests, and comments.

My Comments:

I’ts much very the same functionality to Elasticfox. I was expecting more features on it like monitoring server loads and the like.
