false 2019097 1 Building on the success of its storefront and fulfillment services, Amazon now allows businesses to "rent" computing power, data storage and bandwidth on its vast network platform. This book demonstrates how developers working with small- to mid-sized companies can take advantage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) such as the Simple Storage Service (S3), Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Simple Queue Service (SQS), Flexible Payments Service (FPS), and SimpleDB to build web-scale business applications. With AWS, Amazon offers a new paradigm for IT infrastructure: use what you need, as you need it, and pay as you go. Programming Web Services explains how you can access Amazon's open APIs to store and run applications, rather than spend precious time and resources building your own. With this book, you'll learn all the technical details you need to: Store and retrieve any amount of data using application servers, unlimited data storage, and bandwidth with the Amazon S3 service Buy computing time using Amazon EC2's interface to requisition machines, load them with an application environment, manage access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as needed Use Amazon's web-scale messaging infrastructure to store messages as they travel between computers with Amazon SQS Leverage the Amazon FPS service to structure payment instructions and allow the movement of money between any two entities, humans or computers Create and store multiple data sets, query your data easily, and return the results using Amazon SimpleDB. Scale up or down at a moment's notice, using these services to employ as much time and space as you need Whether you're starting a new online business, need to ramp upexisting services, or require an offsite backup for your home, Programming Web Services gives you the background and the practical knowledge you need to start using AWS. Other books explain how to build web services. This book teaches businesses how to take make use of existing services from an established technology leader. 2023456 25 3 2008 Using Amazon Web Services: S3 and EC2 total:1|3:1| 1 3 10 0 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 07:34:51 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 07:35:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 05:57:28 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 05:57:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 13:53:55 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 13:53:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 31 15:24:56 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 15:24:56 -0800 2009 0 0 true false Sun Jan 18 10:59:19 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 10:59:30 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Nov 05 01:47:29 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 01:47:29 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 05 17:05:09 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 04:28:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 28 13:47:43 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 13:47:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 02:26:41 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 02:27:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Apr 04 23:18:13 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 04 23:18:13 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2019097
