Elastic Fox – Firefox Extension for Amazon EC2
ElasticFox is a pretty nice tool for managing EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) AMI instances AMIs (Amazon Machine Instances) from preconfigured AKIs (Amazon Kernel Image) or ARIs (Amazon Ramdisk Instances). For instance they have a AMI for fedora core 4 that is loaded with mysql and apache form amazon to get started quickly. Ultimately you end up making your own AMIs with the stuff you run on but these can get you started quickly.
It looks like this, it is built in XUL but could easily be built in AJAX or Flash or even Silverlight using APIs.

Pretty nice little GUI to the EC2 service to help people ease into setting up and playing with cloud computing. For people running on the cloud already this is nice to have a quick web developer tool for testing, and quickly changing the dynamics of your resources with in your browser.
I think the cloud will be victorious sooner rather than later if there are great tools to beat out traditional hosting. Finally making tools that aren’t locked to a hosting company with bad applications. At least it makes this area more competitive.
This is what makes Amazon’s model so attractive. Even though it is pieces and components, services will be built on it with great interfaces, probably much better ones than can be designed by the cloud provider themselves via great apis and componentization of cloud infrastructure.

I really like elasticfox, it really takes some of the pain out of managing the virtual machines. But I have a few options I really would like to see added on that I really think would take the last bit of stress out of the equation, and really take the computing could to the next level.
For the windows users using the ec2 tools is a P.I.T.A. (pain in the ass), and I would like to see the bundle tasks area made more user friendly and well…useful. Being able to select and image, and click a button AND label it would be awesome. This would add a more snapshot like feature to the cloud, for those of us who are using the virtual machines in a more long term basis. And being able to add some tags that are not browser specific, so that if we have multiple ops guys they could see who’s machines are whose.
@Greg – yeh the aws.amazon.com management console for EC2 and now MapReduce isn’t bad. I have been using it for most tasks now but elasticfox greatly influenced it. But I agree, the apis are pretty open to build great tools on it so maybe that will happen more and more.

The testis is the primary organ of male reproduction while the spermatozoa, or simply ‘sperm’, is the product of the reproductive activities of the testes. The sperm is produced in the testes through a cycle/processes known as spermatogenesis and is stored in the epididymis. This process of spermatogenesis, takes about 74 days from the primitive cells called spermatogonia to the matured sperm cell. The development throughout this cycle is greatly influenced by a number of hormones, such as Lutenizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), testosterone and others. Finally, the matured sperm cells in the testis are non-motile and incapable of fertilization until they get to the epididymis for storage and distribution, where they undergo the final maturation to become motile and fully capable of fertilization. It should also be understood that, though the adult testis is located in the scrotum behind the testis, it actually develops, during fetal life, in the abdomen and only descends to its final position just before birth.
I am a big fan of your website and I read it regularly. Keep up the excellent work!
Great site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.
