Amazon Web Services is rolling out several new features for its Elastic Compute Cloud that aims to make it easier for businesses to scale the cloud computing resources they need, and to manage their traffic coming into their instances in EC2. Amazon officials said customers were asking for greater control monitoring, scaling and directing traffic in the cloud computing platform.
Amazon Web Services is launching a number of new features for its cloud computing environment designed to make it easier for customers to manage their use of the compute resources.
The features announced May 18 range from new abilities for scaling the compute resources on Amazon’s EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) to balancing the workloads across those resources.
The new offerings will give EC2 users greater control over the cloud computing resources, which will help them increase performance and lower costs, said Peter DeSantis, general manager of Amazon EC2.
