Here I go from nothing (no server, no OS) to full VuFind install in under 8 minutes.</p> <p>It would probably take less than two minutes (under 10mins in total) to add MARC records to the installation, but I didn’t have any to hand at the time.</p> <p>This demo cheats a bit by using a script that does the heavy work, the script was a mash up I created taking existing scripts and commands that come with VuFind with a few tweaks. It probably would have been only slightly slow to run most commands manually.</p> https://nostuff.org/archive/2009/amazon-aws-ec2-and-vufind/ Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:53:36 +0000 https://nostuff.org/archive/2009/amazon-aws-ec2-and-vufind/ <p>Today I saw a tweet from <a href="http://twitter.com/juliancheal">juliancheal</a>, which mentioned he was setting up his virtual server on <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/">slicehost</a>. I hadn’t heard of this company but their offering looks interesting. This got me thinking about cloud hosting and I decided it was time to actually try out <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/">Amazon’s AWS EC2</a>.This allows you to run a virtual server (or multiple servers) in the Amazon cloud, servers can be created and destroyed by a click of a button.</p>
