description
Today many companies are moving their server applications to the cloud. This includes both internally managed ones that are based on virtualization technologies like VMware, Xen, as well as those hosted by third-party providers such as Amazon EC2 and Linode. The process of creating the virtual machine appliances that run in these clouds, however, remain difficult and error-prone. In this presentation, James will show how quick and easy it is to create, test, and deploy such appliances using SUSE Studio, a free web service. In addition to virtual images, Studio can also create physical media such as live bootable ISOs and USB keys for both server and desktop use. He will also demostrate how you can integrate Studio into your build/release cycle using Studio's API or the command line client.

Amazon EC2
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Pay only for computing resources you need
• Billed by per instance hour
• Traditional steps:
– Create special Xen virtual appliance, with the software you need
– Install Amazon EC2 tools
– Bundle Xen image (together with the correct initrd and kernel)
– Upload bundled image to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
– Register uploaded bundle as a Amazon Machine Image
– Launch it, and hope it works
