The Future is Now: Leveraging the Cloud with Ruby
summary
Ruby makes common cloud tasks almost trivial: demos use EC2, S3, SQS and SimpleDB with gems like right_aws gem and right_http_connection to create queues, store files (paperclip → S3) and query SimpleDB. A reliable EC2 setup needs a six-server EC2 deployment (two load balancers, two web, master/slave DB) which he prices as $432/month base cost. Compares providers: Morph (~$30, no SSH), RightScale (premium, $2.5k setup/$500–750/mo), Heroku (free prototyping); warns about EC2 mail deliverability problems.
