On Tuesday of this week, we kicked off a pair of EC2 instances and a pair of our i7 workstations to produce updated data. We dive right in with the EC2 JSON test results, but please read to the end where we include important notes about what has changed since last week.

One particularly interesting anomaly is the dominance of Windows paired with Mongo on EC2 in the Updates test. It''s possible the Windows EC2 instance is running on a newer host than the Linux EC2 instance, but both are classified as m1.large.

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. I went to an event by Amazon on their Amazon Web Services in Santa Monica today.

Five months ago, Google talked about load-balancing to achieve 1 million requests per second.

Given that S3 has no native support for doing this, the selected files must first be downloaded into an EC2 instance, and then compressed using your toolkit of choice. Our initial steps looked something like this: Submit a post to a web service to initiate the zip process along with the corresponding S3 file keys to be compressed The request is then placed in a queue so that the next available EC2 server can process it.

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. In March I wrote about Standing Cloud ’s public launch of a free service to test drive open source applications. As reported today in TechCrunch, Standing Cloud has now launched it’s Business Edition , a service that enables users to also host applications on any of four cloud providers.

You don’t need an Amazon EC2 or Rackspace account, as with “appliance&# providers. Not long after I posted about Dave Jilk’s experience with the Pogoplug , he started using the phrase “Pogoplug Simple&# to describe one of the goals of Standing Cloud. The idea is that technology products should be so easy to set up and use that the experience is vaguely unsatisfying – you feel like you didn’t do anything.

“EC2 down”). Why do we need Twitter and Facebook? (esp. after Facebook’s redesign, making it much more Twitter-like). One reason: tweets are 100% public, Facebook status updates are (generally) not. As such, the collective tweet-stream is a great source of near-real-time information. Lately, I find myself searching more than tweeting, mostly to find current info or if others are sharing my current problem (e.g.

I think it’s very hard to build large value there, for a variety of reasons: It’s insanely crowded; lots of people code these days. Open-source stacks make it easier than ever to crank things out.

Machines and clouds fail, even on EC2. My first company, Feld Technologies, didn’t have contracts. Instead, we had a one page PSA (professional services agreement) that spelled out in English that we charged $X per hour, would do our best, and our invoices were due upon receipt. We never had a single legal issue with a client, although we had a number of tense moments which we almost always solved successful by “doing our best.”
