Amazon, Microsoft and Google: The Cloud Leading Trio

Amazon, Microsoft and Google: The Cloud Leading Trio

By Ofir Nachmani on July 11, 2013

Following several discussions with fellow bloggers and industry executives, I found it quite fitting that the natural cloud leaders are the top software and web giants: Google, Microsoft and Amazon. While Amazon’s AWS is The public cloud today Google recently reported that it is doubling its office space near Seattle, just miles from the campuses of Amazon and Microsoft, […]

At the recent Structure event in San Francisco, I watched Werner Vogels’ presentation, along with about 500 others in a packed auditorium. Werner is the CTO of Amazon Web Services and one of the industry’s more prophetic voices. (I was honored to share the keynote stage with him at Cloud Connect a couple of years ago.) During Werner’s conversation with […]

The Inevitable Cloud Outage: 5 Key Essentials to Safe Guard Your Application

By Ofir Nachmani on June 4, 2013

A while back, I was starting up an EC2 instance on the AWS cloud when it entered an endless restart loop. All the application deployment efforts we’d made (installation and service configuration) over two weeks just went down the drain. So we called support. The support rep redirected us to his team leader who simply […]

By Ofir Nachmani on May 30, 2013

VMware vs. Amazon … ROUND TWO … FIGHT! — VMW Conceding Impotence?

VMware vs. Amazon … ROUND TWO … FIGHT! — VMW Conceding Impotence?

By Randy Bias on March 5, 2013

Two and a half years ago I wrote about the inevitable throwdown between VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS), but recently VMware’s senior leadership appeared to outright admit defeat.  The message to VMware’s partners was simple: “We want to own corporate workload,” said Pat Gelsinger, VMware’s CEO. “We all lose if they end up in […]

By Dan Morrill on February 20, 2013

Sometimes you just need a little DNS to get you through your day. This is an 18 minute video that goes through the configuration of Route 53 both at Dreamhost (my service provider) and Amazon Web Services.

Understanding Amazon Web Services Cloud Watch

By Dan Morrill on February 13, 2013

Sometimes making an alarm is the best thing you can do for yourself when working with Amazon Web Services. Sometimes things can go wrong with your cloud computing installation, and it would be a great idea to know what is happening with your cloud systems. We simply cannot have the console open 24X7 to monitor […]

By Dan Morrill on February 11, 2013

Configuring an Amazon Web Services Security Group Security Groups are just like firewalls, you can set what you want to allow into your system or not on both public and private interfaces.

Traditional IT Shops Starting to Evangelize Cloud, and End to the FUD In Sight?

I was interested to read some coverage of the recent event that was run by Amazon Web Services in Sydney, Australia to celebrate the launch of two Sydney availability zones for the company. As an aside its interesting to look at the list of services that AWS has chosen to go to market with. It […]

By Ofir Nachmani on January 9, 2013

HP stands still, not taking the initiatives and real risks expected of a true industry leader. At the Discover conference, I learned why some companies don’t last and why this IT giant is at risk of losing in this new era IT battle.
