PiCloud


Intro:

PiCloud is a cloud-computing platform that integrates into the Python Programming Language. It enables you to leverage the computing power of Amazon Web Services without having to manage, maintain, or configure virtual servers.

PiCloud integrates seamlessly into your existing code base through a custom Python library,cloud. To offload the execution of a function to our servers, all you must do is pass your desired function into the cloud library. PiCloud will run the function on its high-performance cluster. As you run more functions, our cluster auto-scales to meet your computational needs. Getting on the cloud has never been this easy!

PiCloud improves the full cycle of software development and deployment. Every function run on PiCloud has its resource usage monitored, performance analyzed, and errors traced. This data is further aggregated across all your functions to give you a bird's eye view of your service. PiCloud enables you to develop faster, easier, and smarter.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/

Intro
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.
