Amazon EC2

Stress test your Flex application using Jmeter and EC2 - Part 2

In part 1 we discussed Jmeter configuration.

In this part, we'll go over EC2 configuration

 

We’ll be using Amazon’s cloud computing service (aka EC2/S3).

I’ll be assuming you already have an account with Amazon. If you don’t, create one, and save the cert-XXX.pem and pk-XXX.pem key files.

Stress test your Flex application using Jmeter and EC2 - Part 1

A while back, a client needed to stress test his application.
Since I had some experience with JMeter before, and was eager to try out Amazon’s EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), this was the setup I offered.
Turns out it worked remarkably well.


Detailed explanation and utility files/scripts follows…
In part 1 we'll discuss Jmeter configuration in detail.
In part 2 we'll go over the configuration procedure of EC2, and how to run the test on a distributed environment.

Microsoft's and Amazon's Cloud Strategies Face Open Source Challenges

OStatic reported on how Microsoft’s and Amazon’s cloud strategies face open source challenges.

 

When I asked Eucalyptus Systems' Rich Wolski, who helped create the Eucalyptus Software, what companies are doing with the software, he said:

"They're doing a variety of things, but a lot of them are basically interested in Eucalyptus for doing the same kinds of things they're doing in Amazon AWS, such as business logic applications, where part of the attraction of Eucalyptus is that they can use it as a platform for seamlessly running their public cloud applications and their on-premise cloud apps."
