Amazon Launches New Features For Elastic Compute Cloud : Scaling, Monitoring And Traffic Distribution

Amazon Web Services LLC (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., has announced the public beta of new features for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). The new features are threefold. Amazon CloudWatch is a web service for monitoring AWS cloud resources; Auto Scaling permits automatic growing and shrinking of Amazon EC2 capacity based on demand; and Elastic Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic across Amazon EC2 compute instances.

According to Amazon : CloudWatch gives Amazon customers visibility into resource use, operational performance, and overall demand patterns, including metrics such as CPU use, disk reads and writes, and network traffic. Auto Scaling ensures EC2 usage increases during traffic spikes to maintain performance and decreases during lulls to reduce costs, making it particularly appropriate for apps with frequent use fluctuations. Elastic Load Balancing allows for fault tolerance in applications, detects unhealthy instances within a pool, and reroutes traffic to healthy instances until the unhealthy instances have been restored.
