Both Sides of the Table

DECEMBER 9, 2010

When I started my first company in 1999 we spent more than $2 million on technology infrastructure including Sun servers & Solaris operating system, Oracle databases, EMC storage, load balancers, app servers, back-up devices, disk mirrors and on and on. At the time we viewed Amazon’s offering, EC2 as too nascent.

But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste. In recent years, weve also got great new options all up and down the stack, in particular things like Amazon EC2 and RightScale (none of which would be possible without the free software movement).

We had to buy Oracle database licenses, UNIX servers, a Sun Solaris operating system, web servers, load balancers, EMC storage, disk mirrors for redundancy and had to commit to a year-long hosting agreement at places such as Exodus. When I built my first company starting in 1999 it cost $2.5 Open-Source Software & Horizontal Computing.

Currently, the easiest setup is with Rackspace, where Standing Cloud can automatically assign a billing account to you; this easy setup is coming soon for GoGrid and Amazon EC2. Importantly, the backups can be restored to any cloud service, not just the one where you started.

The best-known examples in the market today probably are the  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)  and  OpenStack Nova. Even for us humans (I expect you to be a human, dear reader) we can distinguish these 3 aspects of operating with data: we store data (e.g. When people talk about â??cloudâ?? speak, write).

Maybe it is a publicly accessible staging server at EC2 spun up by a developer who has since left the company and not shut down because, hey, $20 a month. It’s not my responsibility, that can some sysadmin in operations (like yours truly) take care of. They have already patched most of their main apps, but they missed one.

The focus was S3 - storage service, EC2 - their compute cloud, their queuing system, and their flexible payment system. The EC2 is very similar to having a Linux box in a colocation facility. This would seem to be a good case for us to separate off matching and making that a more scalable operation on EC2.
