This video - Part 3 of 3, describes the process by which Windows AMI’s can can be customized and re-bundled in Amazon EC2. This is particularly relevant to those subscribers who have purchased paid Windows AMI’s from OfficetoCloud.com and would like the option of making changes and saving those changes. The user will then store the new image in their own S3 bucket.

Mark Angel, CTO of KANA, recently gave a talk at a conference hosted by IBM & Amazon about KANA’s experience with the Cloud Quick Start Program. The Cloud Quick Start Program is a joint effort between IBM, Amazon, RightScale and WaveMaker to provide organizations with a fast , easy and trusted on-ramp to the cloud. Some excerpts from the video: “Our walk into the cloud turned out to be a very short journey. And a pretty pleasant one.” “This took, roughly speaking, a few hours longer than it does to deploy inside an eBay IT shop or a Citicorp IT shop when we do an on-premise install with one of our clients.” “Our managed services people got pretty excited about the fact that they can in fact clone images very easily and be able to use this kind of approach externally the way we use VMs (Virtual Machines) internally.” “From a KANA perspective, we - like everybody in the world - have been talking for a while about how the cloud’s the next big thing. It’s going to come. It’s inevitable. It’s going to change our business. It’s going to change the way that we sell to our customers, the way we’re asked to support our customers. But, given that it’s an inevitability, I think we can in fact manage how quickly and how well we ride this train.”
In this TechWeb ReviewCam, enStratus CTO George Reese gives TechWeb editor-at-large David Berlind (and you) an up font, close and personal look at enStratus.com; a Web service that Reese claims is a better front end to Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud than what Amazon has to offer.
This is part three in a three part series of videos in which I demonstrate how easy it is to create an Oracle 11g Database on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. For more information visit: aws.amazon.com
