Web-based EC2 console, alternative to ElasticFox
Mike Culver, technology evangelist for Amazon Web Services announced the availability of a web-based management console for ec2, the Elastic Compute Cloud.
The key features are summarized by James Urquhart and by Saad Ali Abassi.
Alan Williamson offers a visual tour of the new UI.
As an AWS customer, I feel heartened by this investment on Amazon’s part because it emphasizes their commitment to commoditize AWS and make its services widely usable. The AWS services will become cheaper as usage ramps up on the commoditization curve and makes “cloud computing accessible for the masses“
Here is Mike Culver’s original video with an overview of the console
