GigaOm: How Is Your Cloud Performing?

by Sam Dean - Jun. 23, 2008Comments (3)

Cloud computing and the whole trend toward outsourcing compute power are hot topics, but how do you know when there is a problem out in the cloud? Open source cloud management software vendor Hyperic has launched a new web site called CloudStatus, designed to let you monitor how particular clouds are performing. You can keep track of availability, latency, throughput and more. Our sister blog GigaOm has a good analysis of CloudStatus up today. Check it out, and in case you missed our interview with Hyperic, here it is. For more cutting-edge cloud thoughts, check out our recent column series.

Interesting. Are they going to monitor the service in general, or are they doing to get into a RightScale like offering from the monitoring side? i.e. can you use their product to monitor your own deployments on EC2?

This is basically info for the sake of info otherwise. I can get pretty much all this from AWS - sure, when they went down, information was a bit hard to come by, but if they keep going down, I don't think anyone is going to use their service anyway, so any measurement/monitoring tool will be pointless anyway!

Considering this is an initial offering it's still pretty impressive, especially if they can bring some of thier HQ product capabilities like alerting and reporting to it.
