Re: AWS and CF
AWS = Amazon Web Services -- a collection of cloud-based services, of which S3 is just one. There are actually over 20 different services under the AWS umbrella. ColdFusion 9.01 ships w/ native support for S3 (the file storage service). We (Adobe) did test various instances of ColdFusion 9 running on EC2. We were experimenting with the possibility of aper hour version of ColdFusion. Ultimately, we decided not to move forward with the those plans and are instead focusing our development time elsewhere. We found that the vast majority of ColdFusion customers were covered by the cloud-based licensing included w/ ColdFusion 9. ColdFusion 9 Standard allows for one traditional install plus one cloud-based install. ColdFusion 9 Enterprise allows for one traditional install plus ten cloud-based installs. We are very close to releasing a set of ColdFusion 9.01 instances for EC2. By default they will be running as the Developer Edition, so you will just need to plug-in your serial numbers to get going. We've got Ubuntu and Windows flavors in many different sizes -- including the new ultra-cheap micro instances ($4.50/month). -Adam On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 1:33 PM, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: Open BlueDragon has native support for AWS http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/?/amazon_s3 As does Railo http://blog.getrailo.com/post.cfm/s3-with-railo I don't know how they compare to ColdFusion's support as I haven't personally used either, but might be worth comparing if it is a deal breaker for you. -- Russ Michaels http://www.bluethunderinternet.com : B2B hosting, VPS's, Exchange, CF, Railo www.cfmldeveloper.com : CFML community, FREE ColdFusion/Railo hosting http://www.michaels.me.uk : My Blog skype me : russmichaels ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339241 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: AWS and CF
Sweet, thanks for the update. What would be cool, would be an interface to the AWS Ec2 API. To do things like create a new instance on demand, reboot an instance, and get a list of running instances (among other things).

Re: AWS and CF
We are very close to releasing a set of ColdFusion 9.01 instances for EC2. Most excellent. We've got Ubuntu and Windows flavors in many different sizes -- including the new ultra-cheap micro instances ($4.50/month). Can I put in a request for a Centos AMI (or some other Redhat clone)? Preferably an EBS instance so we can make use of Amazons free tier. That said, a Win 2k3 EBS AMI would be nice as well. Many TIA. G!

AWS and CF
Hello Folks, I'm investigating cloud computing to see if it is a viable option for our company. So far it looks promising although there does seem to be lots of reports of fluctuating performance (I would assume this because of 'noisy neighbours..' , but otherwise it looks promising. I have been testing the AWS library (http://awsconsole.riaforge.org/) , but its from 2008 and uses an older version of the API (v1 rather than v2). I tried upgrading it to support 2.0, but with no luck. Has anyone already done this? Is there a better way? Also, the Adobe private beta of CF9 which indicated it included some support for AWS, was announced over a year ago. Is there any information about when that support will be released or what will be included? Thanks for your input!

Re: AWS and CF
The only support I am aware of is that CF 9.0.1 can treat Amazon S3 as a local file system ala CFFile and CFdirectory and some functions. There is a post on it on Ray Camden's blog a while back. http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/7/15/CF901-Guide-to-Amazon-S3-support-in-ColdFusion-901 Search his site for 9.0.1 for more info HTH G!
