Save Money on AWS
Amazon Web Services is a flexible environment to manage costs while maintaining excellent performance and uptime for your application. Using readily available tools, you can right size your services and optimize your IT spending. So here are six tips to help save money on AWS.
Reserved Instances
One of the biggest challenges of migrating to the cloud from your data center is that old skool rules don’t apply. In the data center, you added as much computing power as you could in order to accommodate your busiest times. In the Amazon cloud, you can increase capacity as you need to and reduce it for slow periods. One way to manage this and keep your costs under control is to use a Reserved Instance (RI).
What to Do If Your Web Application Sucks
Online business software and cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications are a thousand times more powerful than what we had just a few years ago. But many business applications are poorly built. They don’t leverage and utilize many of the best, most sophisticated technologies available. Poorly designed, constructed, tested, hosted, and supported, these applications frustrate users and squander opportunity and productivity. To help you understand what all this means, here are the top 5 reasons your web application sucks. We also prescribe solutions for each issue to help you if you're in the throes of dealing with them.
Why Running ColdFusion on AWS Really Rocks
Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) is widely used among midsize and large automotive businesses, hospital & heath care companies, financial services and government agencies. ColdFusion delivers data and services from data centers and cloud environments around the world, and hosting ColdFusion on AWS is a powerful solution.
ColdFusion to Lucee Migration
Lucee is an open-source replacement engine that is highly compatible with Adobe ColdFusion (ACF). Nearly all CFML/CFScript code that runs on ACF will run on Lucee without modification...
Cloud Databases
In an era of ubiquitous cloud computing, one of the concepts that needs far more planning and consideration is cloud databases. Cloud databases provide a similar role to regular databases, but they extend the reach in many ways.
Cloud Security
Most businesses are migrating more applications, systems and processes to the cloud. Many companies resist the cloud's numerous advantages because of lingering concerns over security in cloud computing. While concerns are understandable, when implemented correctly, cloud computing security is just as reliable as on-premise technology.
Cloud Elasticity vs. Cloud Scalability
When migrating to the cloud, CIOs and IT managers should understand key concepts of cloud solutions that affect performance, reliability, security, and (most importantly) costs. One of the most important considerations may be cloud scalability and cloud elasticity. Learn the difference...
Self Healing Systems
If you've hung around with the cloud computing crowd, you've probably heard the term "self healing systems". One of the primary drivers of cloud technology adoption is the elasticity of resources, which dovetails nicely with healing. Self healing systems, by definition, monitor themselves for errors and then correct them, without human intervention. Think of it like you would your own health - if you're hungry, you eat; if you're tired, you sleep; if you have a headache, you take aspirin. When you run, your heart rate accelerates -- until you stop, and then it ramps down. The objective of self healing systems is uninterrupted uptime for applications, services or devices. In cloud environments, it typically entails redundant, scalable server configurations that respond to varied demand, hardware failures, or other problems.
Cloud Migration Strategy
Over the past decade, a fast-growing number of businesses have adopted cloud computing. Cloud computing enables your business to access software and your data at any time and from any location. Creating an effective cloud strategy can be a differentiator for successful companies. Properly developed and executed, web applications in the cloud can bring great benefits.
