Cloud Computing Linux Style
Posted on Monday, January 25, 2010 @ 17:10:50 CET
Topic: Internet

Recently there has been increasing hype about cloud computing, which is regarded as the next trend of the IT industry. Cloud computing can be loosely defined as using scalable computing resources provided as a service from outside your environment on a pay-per-use basis. You can access any of the resources that live in the "cloud" across the Internet and don't have to worry about computing capacity, bandwidth, storage, security, and reliability. This article briefly introduces cloud computing platforms like Amazon EC2, on which you can rent virtual Linux servers, and then introduces an open source MapReduce framework named Apache Hadoop, which will be built onto the virtual Linux servers to establish the cloud computing framework. However, Hadoop is not restricted to be deployed on VMs hosted by any vendor; you can also deploy it on normal Linux OS on physical machines.
