Leaving an instance running when it isn’t needed isn’t especially cost effective. But is there a better solution when you need to run short jobs on a recurring schedule? A cloud scheduler allows you “talk” to your cloud and pre-define when instances will start-up and be shut down, from development through to production. Essentially, it enables you to pay only for the time you need.
In today’s cloud environment an idea can quickly transform itself into software. The small developer can generate and run the application on a PaaS platform or on an Amazon cloud micro-instance. At first the idea can be pitched to potential users at very low cost. Product operations can easily track and support the first users, making sure that the service is available and fits the users’ needs. The R&D team of the newly established start-up can work directly on the production servers. The new global SaaS grows at a steady pace while adding more and more customers, hence new global users.
Thanks to an impressive showing Newvem had at Amazon’s AWS re:Invent user conference, attracting the interest of many long time large Amazon users, fortune 500 companies learning how to embrace Amazon and many AWS partners and resellers who see value in Newvem’s help to identify proper AWS usage for their customers, Bloomberg TV invited Newvem’s CEO Zev Laderman to their featured CEO sit down segment, in their prime business time program: “Taking Stock”.
Host Pimm Fox interviewed Newvem’s CEO Zev Laderman on the Cloud adoption phenomena and how Newvem helps AWS users get the most out of their AWS environment.

Sometimes trying to save money can become costly and complicated.
A case in point is the growing popularity of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) EC2 Reserved Instances (RIs) which enable users to obtain spare cloud capacity in anticipation of future use.
AWS cloud products facilitate the way you can easily and in a reasonable time, deploy a scalable online service on Amazon cloud infrastructure. The slides include schemes that deal with the different cloud aspects such as elasticity, performance and security. The architectures demonstrated uses some advanced AWS products such as Auto-scaling, RDS, Route53 and much more. The presentation is a bit long, take your time and you will find these AWS features that can help you understand how to get more of your AWS cloud account.
This tutorial will show you how to use the ingenieux Beanstalker Maven Plugin to automate deployment of Maven Projects into Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. Apache Maven is a project management tool popular for Java Projects. Based on the concepts of Inversion of Control (IoC) and Convention over Configuration (CoC), it lets developers evolve project functionalities and behaviors with minimal effort, by storing the project metadata in a standard file format, the Project Object Model (POM), in a headless fashion, but compatible with all the major IDEs.
WordPress is one of the most popular open source blog platforms out there. It is used to power anything from simple blogs to complex portals, thanks to the variety of plugins the community has developed.
In this article we will describe the architecture options for deploying WordPress in AWS with scalability and high availability in mind. We will take advantage of the elasticity of the cloud and use more servers when we need them and less when we don’t (auto-scaling).
