WeoGeo has created a scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure to manage its use of Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) operations. I’ve written about it a couple of times (see this link for a listing of the Amazon tagged blogs). The latest version of WeoCEO (Version 0.1.0) is ready for release and with it we are moving from private to public Beta.

This version includes the Assistant to back up WeoCEO (see this feature described in this Amazon Web Services StartUp Event Slide Show). WeoCEO Version 0.1.0 also provides enhancements to the stable IP addressing, failure detection, and automatic scaling and load balancing. These enhancements include automatic emailing to your site administrator during trouble events and detailed logging capabilities.

WeoCEO Version 0.1.0 (including the load-balancing and auto-scaling capabilities) will be free of charge at least until December 1, 2007. It will continue to be free if you only use the stable IP addressing and auto-recovery features for a single client instance.

There will be a charge for the load-balancing and auto-scaling features of WeoCEO, which support running multiple EC2 instances and optimizing your network. The charge for these features will be $0.05 per managed client instance per hour. The charge will be on the average usage over an hour, calculated at <15 minute intervals.

You can obtain a WeoCEO ISO with the setup and installation instructions, by visiting http://www.WeoCEO.com and clicking the “Signup” button, or by clicking the Signup button below. We are still in beta, so constructive comments on any of the components that make up this service will be met with exuberance and free goodies.
