Cloud Servers are easy with Jollat
One of the things I’ve found about EC2 is that while it’s very powerful, managing servers and processes from the command line can be intimidating, and raises the barrier of entry into this exciting world. There are services like RightScale, but those services, while more user-friendly, can be expensive1 for the institution that wants to learn more about cloud servers and how to manage them.
Jollat is a new cross-platform management tool for Amazon EC2 and S3. You can turn on, manage and turn off server instances easily. You can also create storage buckets in the US or EU and easily manage them.
Here’s a quick video:
You can use Jollat free for 30 days, and it’s only $66 to purchase a license. I think it’s that’s a great price if you want to use EC2 sparingly for projects on your campus.
1 – RightScale offers a free developer account that you can use to create and manage servers, but you don’t get the entire feature set unless you subscribe to their services.
