When I launch an instance on EC2, it gives me option for t1.micro, m1.small, m1.large etc. There is a comparision chart of vCPU, ECU, CPU cores, Memory, Instance store. Is this memory RAM of a system ? I am not able to understand what all these terms refer to, can anyone give me a clear picture of what these terms mean ? ECU = EC2 Compute Unit. More from here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_an_EC2_Compute_Unit_and_why_did_you_introduce_it Amazon EC2 uses a variety of measures to provide each instance with a consistent and predictable amount of CPU capacity. In order to make it easy

I've heard many people using both terms interchangeably. However, in my opinion there is difference between them: SCALABILITY - ability of a system to increase the workload on its current hardware resources ( scale up ); ELASTICITY - ability of a system to increase the workload on its current and additional (dynamically added on demand) hardware resources ( scale out ); Elasticity is strongly related to deployed-on-cloud applications. Have I got the difference between these two non-functional software characteristics right? May someone give specific examples, so we could draw more distinctive

I'm in the middle of brainstorming a cloud sync solution for a Core Data app that I am currently developing. I'm planning to open source the code for this once its done, for anyone to use with their Core Data apps, so input from the community on how this system should work is much appreciated :-) Here's what I'm thinking: Server Side Storage Provider As with all cloud sync systems, storage is a major piece of the puzzle. There are many ways to handle this. I could set up my own server for storage, or use a service like Amazon S3, but because I'm starting out with $0 capital, at this moment, a

I am very new to cloud computing. I was wondering can i develop a website using LAMP stack on cloud. And which cloud to use. Is there any open source cloud out there to use it. Sort of. You can use Eucalyptus to develop applications that would run on Amazon's EC2 using the LAMP stack. Eucalyptus is open source. Everything you run on an EC2 instance can be open source, but the actual EC2 instance is paid for (if that's what you were trying to avoid). EC2 is cloud computing in the Hardware-as-a-service sense. You can use Java or Python (and soon Go) to develop applications on Google AppEngine,

How to set permission to not create container, while generating Account SAS token? Here is my settings. // Create a new access policy for the account. SharedAccessAccountPolicy policy = new SharedAccessAccountPolicy() { Permissions = SharedAccessAccountPermissions.Read | SharedAccessAccountPermissions.Write, Services = SharedAccessAccountServices.Blob | SharedAccessAccountServices.Table, ResourceTypes = SharedAccessAccountResourceTypes.Service | SharedAccessAccountResourceTypes.Container | SharedAccessAccountResourceTypes.Object, SharedAccessExpiryTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(2),

Can I migrate a project from one GCP account to another account? Account 1 has project 1 and Account 2 has Project 2. Account 1 and Account 2 have different sized Compute Engines. Would like to add Project 1 to Account 2 to get the benefit of a unified Compute Engine. Thanks -ravi If by "Account" you mean "Billing Account", yes you can move projects between billing accounts. Instructions are at https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6293499?hl=en . If you "Account" you mean between different Google Accounts, you can also do that. Just add the new account as a project owner. Migrating projects

In my application I have to store very sensitive data of its users, such as various password to other 3rd part services (user fill a form where he provides us login and password to 3rd part service) The goal of the application is to setup other complex system using powershell scripts generated from over 100 inputs. There is a requirement to save user work as draft, and that is why I need to encrypt sensitive fields somehow. I read a lot about Azure Key Vault and whenever I read about secrets it seems they are described to hold app settings rather then users secrets, so i am not sure if this is

i create a wcf service and hosted it on windows azure. The wcf service is a https one. When ever i call the service the client needs a certificate to verify its authenticity. When i type the service url on broswer it asks for a verifying certificate and the serivce runs. So far so good. Now i need to access the same service in an MVC 4 application. So i made a simple ajax call. <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("#GetAdjustedSalary").click(function () { var salary = parseFloat($("#salary").val()); var infalation = parseFloat($("#inflation").val()); $.ajax({ url: "https://newtonsheikh

Hi there i am trying to make a servlet that allows admins to upload images and any google users to view these images, so far im working off the program available at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/blobstore/overview and when i upload an image, it serves it straight away using a very long blobKey? and stores a copy of itself in the local_db.bin What i can't find out is if there is any way to shorten the blobkeys for use? For instance i want to have a gallery which displays all the images that have been uploaded by users, however so far the only way i can get the images from
