Duration: Approx. 1 hour

Our next speaker will be Adam Howitt, presenting a follow-up of his talk from 2 weeks ago. This time he'll present "Build a scalable architecture with Amazon's EC2". Please note that this talk is at noon. I'll also have announcement shortly of another speaker for that evening at 6pm.

Description:

Learn how to use Amazon's EC2 service to build a scalable architecture with EC2 from just $75 per month per machine. Adam will show you how to boot up Amazon servers, bundle up a machine image and then boot a farm of identical machines to handle temporary increases in load. Amazon EC2 (elastic compute cloud) is a beta service offered to allow you to boot virtual servers on Amazon's infrastructure to handle surges in traffic or provide extra processing power on demand.
