Hi, I want to give my users a GUI that would allow them to start Hadoop clusters and run applications that I will provide on the AMIs. What would be a good approach to make it simple for the user? Should I write a Java Swing app that will wrap around the EC2 commands? Should I use some more direct EC2 API? Or should I use a web browser interface?
My idea was to give the user a Java Swing GUI, so that he gives his Amazon credentials to it, and it would be secure because the application is not exposed to the outside. Does this approach make sense? Thank you, Mark My project for which I want to do it: https://github.com/markkerzner/FreeEed
