Cloud Computing provides almost unlimited resources. They are always available. The payment is only for usage time. The current article continues the series about new opportunities that become available to every person. Do you play billiard? I do. I’m not a professional player. So I enjoy pocketing a ball accidentally. The ball’s going at the rebound from cushions, coming to the pocket; it almost stops with revolving, and … falls to the pocket. Such kind of a casual luck! But I’m not sure the luck is here today. The coming manager doesn’t look like he simplifies my current work day. “A task for you….” To exclude all technical details, commercial secrets, and other things, the task can be presented as a known travelling salesman problem with 50 points there.

ASP.NET Hosting in Amazon EC2 for 30 Minutes

Today is Monday. I like Mondays: a lot of working time, a lot of things to do, a lot of energy. Of course, I like the second item not very much, but it creates the third item.

Amazon S3 for C# Developers

I like to find things that are easy themselves and that can be easily used. Amazon S3 is a convenient place to store data in. But I found that it's not simply a storage. It has the following features: Possibility to define metadata for stored objects. Metadata can be both standard HTTP headers and custom headers. HTTP access can be provided for files stored in Amazon S3. The access can be easily limited by time. The logging can be turned on and stored also in Amazon S3. Permissions to data stored in Amazon S3 is also controllable (per user, for all users, per authenticated users... (more)
