Looking forward to Ali Hodroj’s presentation “Big Data Apps in the Cloud: What It Really Takes” tomorrow at NYC Amazon Web Services User Group’s meetup. The event will be held Tuesday, March 19 at DUMBO Startup Lab (68 Jay St. Suite 718 Brooklyn ... [More] , NY). Abstract: The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make on-demand, elastic cloud environments an ideal fit. However, managing your big data app on the cloud is no walk in the park - configuration, orchestration, H/A, auto-scaling are all quite complex when it comes to choosing the right cloud for you, whether it’s public, private or a hybrid cloud - which is where Cloudify and Eucalyptus come together. In this session, you’ll learn how to deploy, manage, monitor and scale your big data apps on public clouds such as EC2 and private clouds such as the open source Eucalyptus cloud platform, as well as easily test drive your apps locally and then migrate the workload to Amazon Web Services EC2.
