Manage My Cloud Dude…

Amazon marches forward with its AWS cloud. This time it is a management console addition to the line up. No longer will you have to manage your EC2 instances through the command line only. –

Access and manage Amazon’s growing suite of infrastructure web services through our new point-and-click, web-based user interface. The AWS Management Console gives you a quick, global picture of your cloud computing environment so that you can see what resources you’re operating and conveniently manage those resources. The initial release of the AWS Management Console provides a graphical user interface for Amazon EC2, with additional Amazon infrastructure services scheduled to be added to the console in the coming months.

In related AWS news, Amazon also announced a new lower priced tier for Cloudfront. From what I can make of the pricing it is targeted to the lower volume distributor who is serviing a specific regional market. Not a bad thing in reality.
