We are hoping over time to build up more and more functionality to help people find the AWS images they need quickly and effectively and also allowing them to track the evolution of images (both paid and free).  Also we have already just added support for EU images!

I’m sure I’ll have more to blog on it in the future – right now its…

I’m sure I’ll have more to blog on it in the future – right now its back to cooking up business ideas.

While the other project – The Cloud Market – has marked a return to Ruby on Rails for me.  Took a little bit of time to balance switching daily between the two – i have to admit I enjoyed the challenge.  Its also good to be working with some great people on the project and certainly a different world to the Enterprise Data Management space.

Right now we are still in a closed beta (and looking for interested parties) – however the aim’s of the site are quite simple.

  • To provide a simple way to find Amazon images that suit your needs
  • A way for public image owners to produce a shop front for their offerings
  • A scanner technology that allows people to request a ‘scan’ of a machine image,  which details information such as the installs RPM’s,  available space and more

If you are interested in getting involved drop me a line (philip.dodds at me dot com), sign up at the site or follow @thecloudmarket on twitter.  We are hoping to be live in the coming weeks and continuing to add some new and interesting features as we go.
