If you plan to use Amazon Web Services to run applications in the cloud, the end-to-end approach in this book will save you needless trial and error. You''ll find practical guidelines for designing and building applications with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and a host of supporting AWS tools, with a focus on critical issues such as load balancing, monitoring, and automation.

How do you move an existing application to AWS, or design your application so that it scales effectively? How much storage will you require? Programming Amazon EC2 not only helps you get started, it will also keep you going once you''re successfully positioned in the cloud. This book is a must-read for application architects, developers, and administrators.

Determine your application''s lifecycle and identify the AWS tools you needLearn how to build and run your application as part of the development processMigrate simple web applications to the cloud with EC2, Amazon Simple Storage Service, and CloudFront content deliveryMeet traffic demand with EC2''s Auto Scaling and Elastic Load BalancingDecouple your application using Simple Queue Service, Simple Notification Service, and other toolsUse the right tools to minimize downtime, improve uptime, and manage your decoupled system

"Jurg and Flavia have done a great job in this book building a practical guide on how to build real systems using AWS."--Werner Vogels, VP & CTO at Amazon.com

While it's always been possible to run Java applications on Amazon EC2, Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk makes the process easier - especially if you understand how it works beneath the surface. This concise, hands-on book not only walks you through Beanstalk for deploying and managing web applications in the cloud, you'll also learn how to use this AWS tool in other phases of development. Ideal if you're a developer familiar with Java applications or AWS, Elastic Beanstalk provides step-by-step instructions and numerous code samples for building cloud applications on Beanstalk that can handle lots of traffic. Learn how to use Beanstalk with the Eclipse IDE, Hudson for continuous integration, and several AWS tools for load balancing, auto scaling, storage, and other services. * Learn how Beanstalk provides an entry into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) * Design your Java web application for the cloud - and for Beanstalk * Get an overview of AWS services that power Beanstalk, and learn how to use them independently * Use Beanstalk to set up your development, testing, production, and staging environments * Learn advanced hacking techniques for customizing Beanstalk

Cloud services are just as susceptible to network outages as any other platform. This concise book shows you how to prepare for potentially devastating interruptions by building your own resilient and reliable applications in the public cloud. Guided by engineers from 9apps—an independent provider of Amazon Web Services and Eucalyptus cloud solutions—you’ll learn how to combine AWS with open source tools such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

This isn’t a book on theory. With detailed examples, sample scripts, and solid advice, software engineers with operations experience will learn specific techniques that 9apps routinely uses in its cloud infrastructures.
