Introduction: HotPads abandoned our managed hosting in December and took the leap over to EC2 and its siblings. The presentation has a lot of detail on costs and other things to watch out for, so if you're currently planning your "cloud" architecture, you'll find some of this really helpful.
Introduction: Update 2: Velocity 09: John Allspaw, 10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr . Insightful talk. Some highlights: Change is good if you can build tools and culture to lower the risk of change. Operations and developers need to become of one mind and respect each other. An automated infrastructure is the one tool you need most. Common source control. One step build. One step deploy. Don't be a pussy, deploy. Always ship trunk. Feature flags - don't branch code, make features runtime configurable in code. Dark launch - release data paths early without UI component. Shared metrics. Adaptive feedback to prioritize important features. IRC for communication for human context. Best solutions occur when dev and op work together and trust each other. Trust is earned by helping each other solve their problems. Look at what new features imply for operations, what can go wrong, and how to recover. Provide knobs and levers to help operations. Devs should have access to production

Introduction: Mather Corgan, president of HotPads, gave a great talk on how HotPads uses AWS to run their real estate search engine. I loved the presentation for a few reasons: It gives real costs on on their servers, how many servers they have, what they are used for, and exactly how they use S2, EBS, CloudFront and other AWS services. This is great information for anybody trying to architect a system and wondering where to run it. HotPads is a "real" application. It's a small company and at 4.5 million page-views/month it's large but not super large. It has custom server side components like indexing engines, image processing, and background database update engines for syncing new real estate data. And it also stores a lot of images and has low latency requirements. This a really good example mix of where many companies are or would like to be with their applications. Their total costs are about $11K/month, which is about what they were paying at their previous provider. I found this is
4 0.097006947 1209 high scalability-2012-03-14-The Azure Outage: Time Is a SPOF, Leap Day Doubly So
Introduction: This is a guest post by Steve Newman, co-founder of Writely (Google Docs), tech lead on the Paxos-based synchronous replication in Megastore, and founder of cloud service provider Scalyr.com . Microsoft’s Azure service suffered a widely publicized outage on February 28th / 29th. Microsoft recently published an excellent postmortem . For anyone trying to run a high-availability service, this incident can teach several important lessons. The central lesson is that, no matter how much work you put into redundancy, problems will arise. Murphy is strong and, I might say, creative; things go wrong. So preventative measures are important, but how you react to problems is just as important. It’s interesting to review the Azure incident in this light. The postmortem is worth reading in its entirety, but here’s a quick summary: each time Azure launches a new VM, it creates a “transfer certificate” to secure communications with that VM. There was a bug in the code that determines the ce

Introduction: Every system has a limit. Although most providers of web hosting services claim to provide "Unlimited", we all know that any web server has physical limits which is usually hard to scale up, especially without taking the machine offline. Most IT hosting companies use stand-alone servers to provide website hosting. A very few use any form of HA clusters. Those web hosts that use stand-alone servers do not feature scalability. Every time they need to upgrade the machines they use, major changes to the systems have to be made. Others which that do clustering are more scalable. They would add additional servers to their systems or to remove machines from the set-ups. There are many scenarios and different models of doing clustering. However I'm not the one who would write about them. Plus this is not the purpose of this article. The reason to start this article at High Scalability is to present Cloud.bg , a cloud hosting service delivered from a Linux based high availability and hig

Introduction: Update: : Eucalyptus Goes Commercial with $5.5M Funding Round . This removes my objection that it's an academic project only. Go team go! Rich Wolski , professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, gave a spirited talk on Eucalyptus to a large group of very interested cloudsters at the Eucalyptus Cloud Meetup . If Rich could teach computer science at every school the state of the computer science industry would be stratospheric. Rich is dynamic, smart, passionate, and visionary. It's that vision that prompted him to create Eucalyptus in the first place. Rich and his group are experts in grid and distributed computing, having a long and glorious history in that space. When he saw cloud computing on the rise he decided the best way to explore it was to implement what everyone accepted as a real cloud, Amazon's API. In a remarkably short time they implement Eucalyptus and have been improving it and tracking Amazon's changes ever since. The question
4 0.62839288 865 high scalability-2010-07-27-A Metric A$$-Ton of Joe Stump: The Cloud is Cheaper than Bare Metal
Introduction: Should you pay more in the cloud or pay less for bare metal in the datacenter? This is a crucial decision point facing startups today. Which way should you go? In this Webpulp.tv interview , Joe Stump, always a go-to guy when you need a metric ass-ton (a favorite expression of Joe’s) of good advice on cutting edge practices for the modern startup, laughs at conventional wisdom by saying the cloud is really not more expensive than bare metal. The argument for a cheaper cloud has a three main points: Raw Hardware Costs are Close . Buying hardware is cheaper than renting hardware from Amazon, but it’s close when you consider reserved instances . A reserved instance costs about $250 a year and a new server costs about $1500. Let’s say Amazon is 30% slower. That means for a cluster of 20 machines you would need a another 7 servers. This takes 10 minutes and 4 button clicks to provision on the cloud (the advantage of a scale-out architecture + automation + cloud aware tools).
5 0.62015092 888 high scalability-2010-08-27-OpenStack - The Answer to: How do We Compete with Amazon?
Introduction: The Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group had a meetup Wednesday on OpenStack , whose tag line is the open source, open standards cloud . I was shocked at the large turnout. 287 people registered and it looked like a large percentage of them actually showed up. I wonder, was it the gourmet pizza, the free t-shirts, or are people really that interested in OpenStack? And if they are really interested, why are they that interested? On the surface an open cloud doesn't seem all that sexy a topic, but with contributions from NASA, from Rackspace, and from a very avid user community, a lot of interest there seems to be. The brief intro blurb to OpenStack is: OpenStack allows any organization to create and offer cloud computing capabilities using open source software running on standard hardware. OpenStack Compute is software for automatically creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers. OpenStack Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage

Introduction: What will the version of the Internet that follows us to the stars look like? Yes, people are really thinking seriously about this sort of thing. Specifically the InterPlanetary Networking Special Interest Group (IPNSIG). Ansible-like faster-than-light communication it isn't. There's no magical warp drive. Nor is a network of telepaths acting as a 'verse spanning telegraph system. It's more mundane than that. And in many ways more interesting as it's sort of like the old Internet on steroids, the one that was based on on UUCP and dial-up connections, but over vastly longer distances and with much longer delays : The Interplanetary Internet (based on IPN, also called InterPlaNet) is a conceived computer network in space, consisting of a set of network nodes which can communicate with each other.[1][2] Communication would be greatly delayed by the great interplanetary distances, so the IPN needs a new set of protocols and technology that are tolerant to large delays and

Introduction: How do you design a reliable distributed file system when the expected availability of the individual nodes are only ~1/5? That is the case for P2P systems. Dominik Grolimund, the founder of a Swiss startup Caleido will show you how! They have launched Wuala , the social online storage service which scales as new nodes join the P2P network. The goal of Wua.la is to provide distributed online storage that is: large scalable reliable secure by harnessing the idle resources of participating computers. This challenge is an old dream of computer science. In fact as Andrew Tanenbaum wrote in 1995: "The design of a world-wide, fully transparent distributed filesystem fot simultaneous use by millions of mobile and frequently disconnected users is left as an exercise for the reader" After three years of research and development at at ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology on a distributed storage system, Caleido is ready to unveil the resu
