BitNami released support for Amazon Linux on BitNami Cloud Hosting, its platform for deploying and managing open source apps such as Drupal, Redmine, Alfresco, SugarCRM, Liferay and others in the cloud. Amazon Linux is a distribution of Linux optimized for the Amazon Cloud that is binary compatible with RHEL and CentOS. As with its RHEL support, BitNami uses the native Amazon Linux Stack for deploying the applications. This means that they are installed on top of the MySQL, Apache, and other components that come bundled with the operating system, allowing devleopers to make use of the OS tools to keep their servers up to date.

Developers are now being tasked with writing applications for the cloud. Although that is a simple buzzword, what does it mean to me, the developer? When developing Java Enterprise applications targeted for cloud deployment, what configuration or code changes do I need to be aware of? Will Java EE 7 make it easier? Whether you are using pure JEE or the Spring Framework, can we simply deploy our enterprise applications in the cloud? This session will give an overview of why the cloud is gaining momentum, what are the key facets that one needs to understand to deploy enterprise applications in the cloud. We will look at the differences between CloudFoundry, CloudBees, Heroku and Amazon Beanstalk. Including a demonstration of configuring an existing application and deploying it to the cloud.

Most people have already heard about SPDY, the protocol, from google, proposed as a replacement for the aging HTTP protocol. Webservers are browsers are slowly implementing this protocol and support is growing. In a recent article I already wrote about how SPDY works and how you can enable SPDY support in Jetty.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ll have heard the buzz about Node.js, a platform for building network applications in Javascript. If, like me, you’re a .NET developer working on Windows, you’ll have thought, ‘that’s nice, now back to work’. But I think it’s now time to consider adopting Node as a core part of our toolkit. It allows us to do some things far easier than we can with our existing tools, and it’s now mature enough on Windows that you don’t have to jump through hoops in order to use it. There’s a very nice IIS integration story now with iisnode.

We’ll move past the fluffy characterization involving developers and operations working together joyously—not to mention the outright wrong characterization of one superrole that does it all—and get to the heart of what devops is really about.

Yesterday I got a post comment about some problems with running CXF JAX-RS on Apache Tomcat. But also 2 weeks ago Apache TomEE 1.0 has been officially released. I decided to rework the original example without using Spring (which was causing problems with JAX-RS) and deploy it to Apache TomEE. Source code of the example is hosted on GitHub.

using .htaccess file, you can easily remove the index.php from the url, its just two line code you need to set in the .htaccess file which is as below RewriteCond $1 !^(images|system|themes|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|index\.php) [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] when you use above code make sure that Rewrite Engine is On

OPS: For the sake of this discussion... What do you mean when you say "private cloud, public cloud and data center"? CLOUDIFY: A data center is a bunch of machines that are running most of the time. It could be a bare-bones data center or a virtualized data-center. A private cloud is a data center that has an API for provisioning machines on-demand. It takes away the need to manually decide which VM runs on which physical machine for which user. A public cloud is like a private cloud, but each machine is billed by the hour.

Signalling System No. 7 (SS7) is a set of telephony signaling protocols which are used to set up most of the world's public switched telephone network telephone calls. Other uses include number translation, local number portability, short message service (SMS), and a variety of other mass market services. Mobicents SS7 is compatible with Dialogic boards and also has inbuilt support for SIGTRAN (M3UA). This release includes ASN library, ss7 protocols including ISUP, SCCP, TCAP and MAP, Mobicents Service and Shell Management Interface.

SystemEvents offer a nice way to respond to events like system startup or -teardown. This blogpost shows how to use them to bootstrap your application.

A few folks suggested to me that a bit more information on the built-in properties and property scoping for uDeploy would be handy. Message received, and we’ll flesh out the documentation on that front. In the meantime, here’s a quick list of the automaticly available properties.

Recently a vulnerability was detected in node.exe that could theoretically allow an attacker to perform a header-spoofing attack. Version 0.6.17 contains a fix for this attack. We take security very seriously, so we’re releasing this update which includes node 0.6.17 to remove the vulnerability.
