This time AWS has does it right. The Relational Database Servers in AWS
called “RDS” are the “Real Thing”.
I just transferred over my whole Drupal DB in a few moments to an RDS
Instance. Is was very simple.
Let me show you the one line command solution:

This is the LINUX command line database dump program. I just used the default
connection (defined in my.cnf) and dumped a few tables I wanted. I added the

When you get a new car you look into the glove box and find a small book that
explains the day to day operation of the car. The same is true for your
laptop.

This is a great pair to have on your team. These two players add depth of
monitoring to your Deployments. RightScale takes the low level server
meterics very nicely and SPLUNK> watches all of the application logs for you.

Today, AWS Amazon RDS (Relational Database Servers in the AWS Cloud) are a
new Beta and needs to be used as a “peek at that the future” for the IT

Database as a service. The time has come for this to be a real SaaS.
The “Big Table” was easy to “pu pu” and say “It does not fit the

My name is Ed I have working in the computer industry for a very long time. sI started working with computers in 1962. Yea that is the very log time to be focused on one theme.
For the last few year I have been working on Server Deployment. I found out about Cloud Computers and became very interested in the idea of a dynamic server farm configuration. I started to play around with the ideas and developed my own version of a dynamic server farm. Later I started to use the AWS EC2 servers.
Today I develop server farm configurations for many projects.
