I'm at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco this week, which actually started with something called CommunityOne, a Sun-sponsored event for developers focusing on open source and web developer stuff.
The coolest thing I saw yesterday at CommunityOne was a talk about Amazon Web Services and OpenSolaris. The talk gave a great overview of Amazon's services for web developers, including their compute service, storage service, and some of the new stuff they're rolling out. It was impressive.
During the talk, Amazon announced that OpenSolaris is now available as one of the operating system platforms you can use in Amazon Web Services; you can now use an OpenSolaris AMI (Amazon Machine Image), which means people can pay ten cents an hour for running OpenSolaris-based services. If you're building web services and you like Solaris but don't want to worry about scaling, this is a great option.
Anyway, the talk was very cool, and after today's sessions at JavaOne, it looks like I've got a few more cool things to check out. It's gonna be a fun week.
