In Part 1 of this introduction to SimpleDB, you will learn how to leverage Amazon's own API to model a CRUD-style racing app. In Part 2 Learn how to refactor the racing application from Part 1 to be compliant with the JPA specification. Then you'll port the app to SimpleJPA, which implements a subset of the Java Persistence API.

Cloud computing and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) are well documented, but what's often not discussed is how to get a running Linux application into a cloud computing environment. Discover how to move an application into the cloud and take advantages of the features this setup has to offer.

Provisioning an EC2 instance for hosting a Java Web application is a snap. In this Java development 2.0 column, you'll quickly build a Web application that leverages Groovy, Spring, and Hibernate (via the Grails framework) and deploy it on an EC2 instance.

This article give you a hands-on introduction to developing for and deploying on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Learn how EC2 differs from Google App Engine, and leverage an Eclipse plug-in and the concise Groovy language to get a simple Web application up and running quickly on EC2.

This article looks specifically at the public cloud and how you can use the IBM WebSphere sMash and IBM DB2 Express-C Amazon Machine Images (AMI) at no charge to deliver Web applications hosted on the EC2 public cloud infrastructure. Learn how a business can leverage Cloud Computing to reduces costs associated with owning software.

It's always best to write less code, right? And it makes a lot of sense to borrow someone else's hard work too. As you'll see in this article, the Amazon S3 service can expose the RESTful API and JetS3t makes working with S3 and the Java language a lot easier and ultimately a lot more efficient.

This article explains the benefits and drawbacks of Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and SimpleDB offerings when it comes to building a Web site. This visual tour explains the S3 and SimpleDB architectures and how to use them through practical examples; in this case, you'll use a Perl library to build a simple photo-sharing site.

Explore cloud computing and the offerings from the major cloud platform vendors: Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and SalesForce.com. Take a look at an example of a typical corporate application that uses a JMS queue, and examine what would be involved to hybridize part of this JMS infrastructure in the cloud.

Learn how you can use Infrastructure as a Service to get a full computer infrastructure using Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). This article helps you plan ahead for working with cloud by knowing how cloud computing compares to grid computing, how you can resolve issues in cloud and grid computing, and what security issues exist with data recovery and managing private keys in a pay-on-demand environment.

Amazon SimpleDB (SDB) is a fast, scalable real-time dataset indexing and querying framework that makes it easy to store and retrieve structured data for Amazon Web Services-based applications in the cloud. In this article, learn some of the basic concepts of Amazon Cloud computing and check out some of the functions provided by the third-party open source Python library named boto. You will get familiar with Amazon Cloud computing and SDB by running small snippets of boto code in a Python shell.
