Amazon EC2

Paul Westbrook | 26 August, 2006 23:27

I just finally got around to checking out Amazon's EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud).  This service, that is currently in limited beta, looks very interesting. 

Essentially what Amazon is offering is a Virtual Dedicated Server on top of their S3 storage service.  This service seems like it could be an option for someone who is looking at a dedicated server.  The prices are competive.  (If you assume no data is transmitted or received, running one of these server instances would cost $72/month. the rate for data transfer is $0.20 per GB.)

Here is a page that describes how to use ssh tunnels to get through firewalls.  This goes in to more detail than the previous page that I mentioned.

mytop

I have been using mytop for a while, and it is a great way to view the queries running on a MySQL database installation.  It provides this information with a "top" like interface.
