EC2 load balancing service
As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I’m using Amazon’s EC2 service to host my website (
wajig.com). Amazon recently announced it’s
elastic load balancing service. I started tinkering with the service and quickly (within 30 minutes) setup and configured multiple AMIs and EBS mount points, running behind a single load balancer. I’m still amazed at how simple these things are to get up an running. This was big for Wajig as a hosting company, because we can now offer these services to our customers rapidly and with zero out of pocket expenses.
When a large company comes to Wajig and requests what used to be, enterprise level redundancy and fault tolerance, we can respond and deliver in days rather than months to meet these deliverables. Time to execute, for small businesses, is the single most important characteristic they can posses. Amazon’s
elastic load balancing service as well as the many
other features they offer give Wajig the tools to become a player in an otherwise walled market.
