EC2 Bootstrapper Description

The EC2 Bootstrapper program was designed to be a small tool that allows an ASP.NET application to be deployed to a new EC2 machine instance in one click. Abstract: The EC2 Bootstrapper sample demonstrates the use of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) on Vista and Windows 7, as well as the use of Windows Server, ASP.NET, and Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform. The main priority for this project is to make it as easy as possible for an ASP.NET developer, new to cloud computing, to run a custom web application on a Windows Server instance in the cloud. The target cloud computing platform is Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2. Amazon announced official support for Windows virtual machines (VMs), as well as for SQL Server, in the context of its EC2 service in late 2008. This capability is attracting Windows developers who were previously uninterested in the Linux-only cloud computing model. EC2 exposes a management model based on Web service APIs that allow VMs to be created, modified, started, and stopped as necessary. Similar APIs are offered for persistent storage and message queuing. However, like any full-featured programming environment, there is complexity and inevitable ramp-up time. The goal of this project is to allow a Windows developer to skip the ramp-up required to provision a custom machine image, run it, upload a custom software package, and install it. The console is implemented as a WPF client application.
