Amazon Web Services
Tue, Jan 30, 2007 @ 07:30 PM - 10:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Student Activity
Amazon Web Services will be in town on Tuesday, January 30 from 7:30-10:30 PM in MHP 106.What's cooking at Amazon these days?, What are Amazon Web Services? Why is Amazon Mechanical Turk named so? What's so "Elastic" about Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud? What's the limit of bottom-less hard-drive in the sky (Amazon S3)? What are some of the 200,000+ registered developers of AWS Developer community building?Let's find answers to these questions and more.It all started with Amazon E-Commerce Service (Amazon ECS), when Amazon.com opened its technology and product vault (2002) to developers worldwide, enabling them to construct powerful applications using the resources the company has built over eleven years. Since then, Amazon has launched ten new services that provide developers easy access to inexpensive, scalable web-based infrastructure.In this session, Jinesh Varia, Amazon's Web Services Evangelist, will talk about Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon MTurk and how these services can work together to do wonders. Also, we will see some exciting apps, built on AWS, that have become profitable businesses and others that are just plain-drop-dead-cool.So bring your open minds fully charged, as this session might spur up your thought-liquid for the next 'Eureka!' moment.Sponsored by Upsilon Pi Epsilon
