Announcing Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances

Leave a reply

“Reserved Instances are complementary to existing Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances and give businesses even more flexibility to reduce computing costs. Because Reserved Instances function identically to existing Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances, you can now plan for an anticipated amount of capacity using Reserved Instances and then instantly spin up On-Demand Instances if your compute needs exceed you reserved capacity. Of course, you can also choose to handle all of your capacity needs using only On-Demand instances or only Reserved Instances — it’s entirely up to you. Reserved Instances are available in 1-year or 3-year terms.”

Really worth it for an on demand application.

Open Source Client libraries for Amazon Web Services are available to build AWS manager console.

http://code.google.com/p/typica – Java
http://code.google.com/p/ctypica/ – C
http://tarzan-aws.com/ – PHP
http://code.google.com/p/php-aws/ – PHP

Now comes AWS manager built using the above libraries:

DirecEC2 for iPhones and iPod touch
http://awsmanager.com/
http://cloud42.net/

What about setting up a Cloud42 application on a webserver and offer the services same with Ylastic? 🙂

Amazon EC2 Management console for users who will win?
What if to include the feature to easily manage 1000 servers using iPhone? 🙂

Ylastic offers application for iPhone and iPhone and Android based smartphones. But I bet they built their own client library for their application.
