Kurzbeschreibung
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 need * Learn how to build and run your application as part of the development process * Migrate simple web applications to the cloud with EC2, Amazon Simple Storage Service, and CloudFront content delivery * Meet traffic demand with EC2's Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing * Decouple your application using Simple Queue Service, Simple Notification Service, and other tools * Use 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

I ordered this book several weeks ago and had it lying on my desk since then. Finally, I had the
time to read it on a transatlantic flight last week. In short: I am a bit disappointed. There is nothing
technically inaccurate in the book (as far as I can tell), however it is far too high level. Don't get me
wrong, it's still a nice overview. However, for a text book about Amazon Web Services the content is
just not detailed enough.
Also there is a such a difference in style compared to George Reese's book which is available from
the same publisher (O'Reilly). If you are looking for an O'Reilly book about Cloud Computing, then
I recommend Reese's book. It's a classic that comes with an opinion, explains AWS limitations and
explains workarounds to overcome these limitations (however, quite some of these workarounds,
such as MySQL provisioning, are outdated by now).
Interesting to see that Werner Vogels, the CTO of Amazon has written the foreword of van Vliet's
book. It might be just me, but I would prefer to read more about technical tradeoffs and the
limitations of AWS instead (otherwise the AWS documentation is just as good). As you can guess, I
personally favor Reese's book over this book written by van Vliet (or possibly the more up to date
Cloud Computing book written by F. Munz).
I'll still rate it with 2 stars since it is not too expensive for what you get.

Short book based on author's experiences
30. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Because this is a short book, I'll write a short review. Programming Amazon EC2 (PAE) explains how to use certain elements of Amazon Web Services to deploy applications in Amazon's cloud infrastructure. The discussion centers on the authors' experiences deploying live, production Web sites (like Kulitzer) using AWS. I found this approach refreshing and novel, because it reads like a playbook for recreating similar infrastructure for the reader's own purposes.
PAE regularly explains how to accomplish tasks using the AWS Web interface, but crucially (for me anyways) the book also generally shows the same processes using command line tools on Linux. Because I find it easier to read CLI instructions than follow screenshots of Web sites, I appreciated the text-based approach. PAE also helps the reader understand the reasoning behind Amazon's release of various AWS offerings. It's clearer now the problems Amazon was solving internally, which drove the delivery of new capabilities to customers.
My main problem with PAE is the almost total lack of security considerations. I say "almost" because the word "secure" does appear on p 87: "One advantage of SimpleDB here is that it's ready to use right away. There is no setup or administration hassle, the data is secure..." Sure it is! The authors also mention using Access Control Lists to permit Internet users to use Web applications, but otherwise there is no discussion of the risks of relying on cloud infrastructure. Reading recent news should be enough to remind the reader of these issues.
Overall, you will like PAE if you're looking to see how another small company jumpstarted their business by deploying applications in AWS. For future editions I would like to see discussions of security plus comparisons to other cloud offerings.

Good, broad overview for experienced sysadmins
15. März 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Programming Amazon EC2Programming Amazon EC2 is a hands-on guide to use of Amazon's cloud platform, with a focus on showing the reader how to approach the various components of the EC2 ecosystem. The authors state early on that the goal is to give the reader "a sense of all AWS functionality", so you will not find any one area explored in extreme detail.
The text generally achieves its goals. After a brief history of EC2 at Amazon, it moves quickly into establishing the necessary tools environment and then connecting to a new machine instance. This is not a cookbook, and some mundane yet critical details (e.g., setting permissions on your key files to 400 when running on Linux) are skipped; these are not fatal omissions, but they may hamper your experience if you are not seasoned on your platform of choice. Also, most examples are geared toward the Linux (Ubuntu) environment, so you will need to be able to translate those commands and concepts to your chosen environment. Once the machine image has booted, this text will assume that you are fully competent to administer the operating system of that image, including package installation, editing configuration files, etc.
Overall, good breadth of information in a relatively quick read, although you will need to follow along and try the examples with your chosen image/environment/application to really see a return on time invested.
Disclaimer, I was provided access by O'Reilly Publishing to an electronic copy of this book for review purposes.

Informative read and useful guide
3. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Expecting a book with examples and insights, this book has given me all information I expected. You will read why certain services are made but also where they are most useful by given real-world examples. Between the lines you will get valuable tips about best practices/warnings. While planning to use Python the book focusses on Ruby/PHP/Java but still reading the code makes it clear enough what I will need to do in another programming language to make AWS work for me.
Well done writing, and these are the books you will need to get a good insight in new technology but is also useful while implementing ideas onto AWS!
