Announcing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse

Dear Amazon EC2 Customer,

We are excited today to introduce the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, a plug-in for the Eclipse Java IDE that makes it easier to develop, deploy, and debug Java applications on Amazon Web Services. With the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, you’ll be able to get started faster and be more productive when building AWS applications.

While working on Java terminal application(actually using Groovy and Typica API library), I receive this announcement message from Amazon. Checking it out immediately with my Eclipse Ganymede version 🙂

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.
