I see that you can convert an instance stored instance to be EBS backed as this question shows. However, I want to do the opposite, take an EBS backed instance and convert it to be Instance Store backed. Is this possible? How do I do this? Shlomo Swidler Launch an instance-store instance from an AMI that uses the same kernel used by your EBS-backed AMI. Create an EBS volume from the snapshot underlying the EBS AMI. (Alternatively, launch an instance of the EBS AMI and Stop the instance when it begins booting. Detach the root volume from the instance - this is usually the volume attached to

I've just (about 1 hour ago) associated an Elastic IP to my instance at Amazon EC2 . If I SSH into my instance and type lynx localhost I can see that apache is responsive because I see the It works page. However, If I browse into my instance (both via the IP itself and via the public DNS Amazon has created for me), I get Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to .. bla bla... Should I wait some more time (in case it's due to some DNS thing) or does this indicate something is wrong? Thanks in advance EDIT: When I ssh into my instance, I use the full IP address and it works... (the Elastic IP I

I would like to switch off Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) for my Elastic Beanstalk environment. Currently I don't need it and I don't want to pay for it. It is possible to delete the ELB in EC2 managment window but then Elastic Beanstalk health state is switched from GREEN to RED. I just found a information that it's not possible. Does someone has a trick how to run Elastic Beanstalk without load balancing and have environment GREEN health state? Since July 2013 Elastic Beanstalk supports "single-instance" environments that have a single container instance running without a load balancer.

I've followed the installation procedure from here and when I reach the Inspect Role Assignments stage I only see one managed host: localhost.localdomain . Any subsequent attempts to add other hosts have the same outcome: each cluster host installation is successful and the host does not show up as managed What am I missing? Update: I don't like to answer my own questions so I am writing my answer here. The solution is so obvious that I cloud not see it and left the problem unresolved for quite some time until it hit me while doing some checks. The hostname provided at installation time was

I am running a lightweight API in the OpenShift Cloud. I just realized that after 48h the application goes into IDLE mode. Is there kind of a ping service to avoid this issue? best M The OpenShift Online Bronze Plan is actually a free upgrade OpenShift offers in exchange for adding a credit card to your account. The Bronze Plan disables application idling and adds support for team management and custom SSL certificates. You don't have to pay anything and you still get three Small gears for free. Just upgrade to Bronze - don't mess with all the Pingdom/Uptimerobot garbage. Check out the updated

年关将至， Cloud Insight 正式版悄然上线了。没有大张旗鼓的宣传，也没有热热闹闹的庆祝，只是一群人在上线前踏踏实实的优化了两周，然后发版，就是这样一件简单的事。 然而就是这样一个低调的产品，在正式上线之前，就已经累积了数百用户。 要说 Cloud Insight 得先说一说 StatsD. 作为一个基于 Node.js 平台，简单的网络守护进程，StatsD 通过 UDP 或者 TCP 方式侦听各种统计信息，包括计数器和定时器，并发送聚合信息到后端服务。 而在国外基于 StatsD 产生了一系列的工具，或者在成熟的项目基础之上，开始兼容 StatsD。如果按照方向可以划分为如图的几个方向。 有了数据和信息可以做很多事，包括数据集成、可视化、可视化+存储、事件流，甚至将这些结合做出一体化解决方案，针对不同的需求，不同的市场，每一个方向都能产生独特价值。接下来我们大致介绍一下这几个方向。 ##Integrations StatsD 本身并不负责定义指标的涵义，所以如果要从数据库或者操作系统中采集数据，需要进行脚本的开发。其中在这方面做出突出贡献的是 Datadog。Datadog 开发的 dd-agent 项目在 GitHub 多达 150 个贡献者，兼容 60 多种操作系统、中间件、数据库。 除此之外，Librato 和 App First 也加入到 StatsD

Anyone know of any good server side voice recognition engines that are already hosted? I.e. I want to be able to call a simple web API posting some sound data and get text back. Doesn't have to be free - but hopefully free to experiment with. David J. Liszewski There are several IVR services which host an entire VOIP session (telephone call) as a complete application, rather than offer individual service transactions "àla carte". If you were to make your program look like a VOIP call, you might be able to get it done with some of these services. Voxeo published a list of free (and low cost)

While this question is particular to Azure, I'm sure that it is a common situation for cloud computing in general. I have a list of tasks that I need run at a certain time. With a window's server, I can use Task Scheduler and schedule my program to run at a certain time. I could go a step further and create a windows service that would run at a given interval and then execute the appropriate task. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best approach is for a cloud computing environment? I could create a worker role that polls the task list every second and then throws the appropriate task into a
