My precious, beloved Auntie Jan passed away yesterday. She’d been ill and fought a good fight. I was hoping to make it out in time to give her one last hug and have one last laugh, yet everything and everyone has their divine right timing, and I’m sure she went home exactly when she was called. We are heading out to see family for the holidays today. I’m fairly sure she was with us in the sky in Montana, seeing us off. I’m so awe-struck with how blessed I am with the love of my family. So much to be grateful for 💕. #ilovemyfamily #thanksgiving #gratitude #cloudangels #peace #love (at Portland International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WpdTFJZWy/?igshid=1adif6m8j7bcm

CloudAngels just became an official Amazon Consulting Partner

CloudAngels is not only delivering workable software development on cloud computing platforms since 2008, we are now also among the first certified Partners for Amazon Web Services solutions in Germany to become Consulting Partner.

For our customers this means provable and certified expertise as well as better support and, of course, better access to the ecosystem that is AWS.

CloudAngels: watchit.by - having fun with videos in the cloud

We at CloudAngels like to use new technologies. Since Amazon is constantly launching new services we decided to make use of some of them and started a little public project a while ago that we had quite some fun with and put it up on Amazon's cloud.

The result is watchit.by - a website that constantly listens to the Twitter realtime stream, ranking the most interesting videos that are currently being discussed so you never miss out on the greatest videos. It's a leisure site really, but be warned, you can easily spend hours on it watching videos, that's how addictive it is (that's kind of the reason our little mascot fly over there has these big red eyes).

Feel free to give us feedback and follow the project on Twitter - the user is @watchitby

At its current stage the setup for the website is quite minimal, but we think once the site grows, we will have the opportunity to showcase some good use of Amazon's APIs.

CloudAngels: Amazon storage and transfer key features roundup

Amazon is constantly improving their web services offerings, so it's easy to miss some great innovations if you don't pay close attention. To give you a quick overview of what recently happened in the storage arena, lets take a look back and see what kinds of new tools are at our disposal.

As was announced yesterday by AWS, CloudFront was recently upgraded. Among a 25% price reduction for CloudFront requests it now features HTTPS connection support. This is particularly interesting to content distributors, video transmission systems or just about any kind of sensitive transfer of data on the web.

This comes right after the RRS feature announcement that S3 storage can now be used at a 33% reduced rate when no high level redundancy is required for the stored content - great for storing low risk regenerable data such as thumbnails, new bandwidth threshold price cuts - effectively letting you reach higher mass discount levels quicker, and last but not least the groundbreaking file versioning option that was introduced along with multi factor authentication.

Now especially the versioning with MFA is worthy an article on its own which may soon be available on this blog, but for now, let's just say that it's the the storage safety you never could afford, made available at a discount price. With versioning enabled S3 can store every iteration of your file similar as a version control system, storing only the delta of two file versions - which can mean big savings on storage. MFA means you can adjust S3 to require a special persmission from a user before he can delete content. This permission is granted only once the user has provided a password as well as a cryptographic timecode that constantly changes on an inexpensive keychain device like this. No more accidental or unapproved deletions from your S3 buckets.

Storage and transfer are very important areas of Cloud Computing, where we constantly find room for improvement over traditional hardware setups. The impact these technologies can have on everyday business can be enormous.
