Cloud computing Made Easy With Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud

Sunday, October 10th, the perfect 10 (10/10/10) at exactly 10:10 AM, marked the official release of Ubuntu Server 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat." It is nice to hear that Meerkat's onboard Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) includes the latest updated version of Eucalyptus 2.0! This UEC boasts an easier installation process—you can even boot from a USB stick—along with the many new features and improvements that are now part of Eucalyptus 2.0. With Meerkat, Ubuntu has once again shown their commitment to the cloud and to hybrid cloud technology by offering freely available pre-approved UEC images for both private and public cloud environments.

By the perfect 10 special occasion, I posted a blog that tells more about values with few words that were summarized from a book by Adam khoo, NLP practitioner and trainer. It is a valuable content. And I am glad to hear and see UEC 10.10 was realized at this same occasion 10/10/10 10:10 with post of my blog.

Today I would like to share with you my experience that I made with the UCE hosted in the amazon EC2 cloud Infrastructure. After reading about the realize of UEC, I found a link that invites to test the system at amazon EC2. I was very much eager and happy to see the system running in minutes. With my great interest in the field I found my favorite CMS(Content management System) Drupal and tested it in the cloud with testing limit of about one hour (55 minutes). It took me 3 minutes to get the system up and running with everything pre configured.

The very smart thing about the experience is that the system have a rich Management tool to add a server instance very easily that is Eucalyptus 2.0 . Moreover you can get up and running a Private cloud Instance in your organization with having Ubuntu Cloud Server get downloaded and using some open management tools like Eucalyptus. Currently I am planning on how to introduce a cloud based educational system with regard to Ubuntu server. I have downloading the server and will share my experience in the future. Grap this link and get expericenced with Ubuntu in the Cloud.
" Ubuntu simplifies the complexities of cloud computing. Build within Amazon EC2 or create a private cloud on your own hardware. Ubuntu Server Edition helps you create and control both."

Take care! I would like to see your comments below.

VALUES: YOUR DRIVING FORCE

Have you ever wondered what really drives you in your life?Why do you do what you do? What drives your decisions and the choices you make constantly?

1. Our decisions and actions are driven by us
moving towards positive emotions and,
simultaneously, moving away from negative
emotions.

2. The positive emotions that we move towards are
called our Towards values. The negative emotions
we move away from are called Away-from values.

3. All of us rank our values differently and hence,
we make very different decisions and take
different actions.

4. While goals give us a direction to move towards,
values are like the emotional fuel that propel us
forward.

5. When we discover a person’s towards and
away-from values, we can predict how this person
will make decisions.

6. If we were to shift the way a person ranks his
values and/or the way he defines it, we will
dramatically change the way he behaves and
the results he produces.

7. Once we consciously change our values, we
can lock them in by:

Committing to these new values
Being in constant touch with them
Emotionally charging them by visualization
Living by these new values
