Ubuntu on Amazon Beta

| We have just announced our beta of Ubuntu Server Edition for cloud computing.
| It uses Amazon’s established cloud service EC2. We’re supplying customised
| images that are quick to deploy and efficient in production. The images are
| based on Ubuntu Server Edition so have the same great security, performance,
| reliability and range of applications. Since they use the EC2 service it
| means that you can have a new server up and running with a few mouse clicks.

Red Hat Prepping Managed Services Strategy
,----[ Quote ]
| The convergence of open source with managed services and software as a
| service (SaaS) continues. The latest example: Red Hat, arguably the world’s
| best-known open source company, has created two staff positions to serve
| hosting partners. Plus, Red Hat is evaluating a strategy to work more closely
| with managed service providers, MSPmentor has learned. Here’s the scoop.

Force.com: Salesforce Moves into the Platform Business
,----[ Quote ]
| If you imagine the "Platform as a Service" (PaaS) landscape as a spectrum,
| you have offerings like Amazon's EC2 at one end. EC2 is essentially a
| VM-based technology with some scalability infrastructure, but you have to
| roll everything else yourself, from persistence to failover. In the middle,
| you have products like Google's App Engine, which allow you to deploy an
| application with many of the underlying nuts-and-bolts concerns handled by
| Google, but is still essentially a deployment environment that you hand-code
| Python with.

| In short, Amazon.com has launched several services
| that allow small companies to leverage the powerful
| tools of a big company such as Amazon.com. For instance,
| Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), creates a virtual
| Web-based Linux server that a small company can rent
| at 10 cents per CPU hour... Bezos also described a
| fulfillment center service that the company offers,
| wherein a company can request both warehouse space
| and order fulfillment services for their own products.
| Amazon is literally offering distribution to their
| competitors!
|
| It is, in short, open source business strategy.

ElasticDrive Beta 0.1.6 - Amazon S3 FileSystem
,----[ Quote ]
| Enomaly Inc has announced the release of ElasticDrive. ElasticDrive is a
| network block device based upon the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).
| ElasticDrive provides a caching block device driver which pushes blocks to
| and from S3 as if they were being written to a local block device.
|
| [...]
|
| ElasticDrive provides this service through a virtual NBD service. The NBD
| service translates from standard NBD to S3 packets transparently, so that the
| client (the kernel) sees a generic block device. NBD is supported on almost
| every linux kernel (including EC2). Simply modprobe nbd, and you are ready to
| use ElasticDrive.
