Ensemble meets Hadoop on the cloud

So you wanted to play with hadoop to crunch on some big-data problems, except that, well getting a hadoop cluster up and running in not exactly a one minute thing! Let me show you how to make it "a one minute thing" using Ensemble! Since Ensemble now has formulas for creating hadoop master and slave nodes, spinning up a hadoop cluster could not be easier!

Yep that's how simple it is! If you want to scale-out the cluster, you only need to ask Ensemble to do it for you:
$ ensemble add-unit hadoop-slave

So is this easier than configuring a hadoop cluster manually? Leave me a comment, let me know your thoughts! Also let me know what you'd like to see deployed next with Ensemble

Ensemble deploy and scale cloud apps

Think deploying and scaling your cloud application is hard ? Think again!



Check out this video demo, where I deploy a multi-tiered cloud application. I'm deploying

• HAproxy load balancer
• Memcached caching server
• MediaWiki application server
• MySQL DB

connecting them together and getting it working. After which, I'm scaling the whole thing from two application servers, to four

How long it takes me ? Well basically 5 minutes for the whole thing!

The secret: Ensemble !

So what do you guys think, like the demo ? Leave me a comment, let me know which demo you'd like to see next. Also if you'd like to see your favorite application deployed with Ensemble, leave me a comment or ping me (kim0) on freenode irc
