I’m pleased to announce that EC2Deploy – a Groovy-based framework for deploying Java EE applications to Amazon EC2 – is now available as part of the Cloud Tools open source project.
There are three main parts to Cloud Tools:
- The EC2Deploy framework
- Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that are configured to run Tomcat and work with EC2Deploy
- A Maven plugin that uses EC2Deploy to deploy a web application to EC2
I’m especially excited about the Maven plugin. Once you have configured the plugin for your web application you can use the following goals:
- cloudtools:deploy – launch the EC2 instances and deploy the web application
- cloudtools:redeploy – redeploy the web application (upload the changes and restart tomcat)
- cloudtools:jmeter – run a Jmeter test
- cloudtools:stop – stop the EC2 instances
Cloudtools is still work in progress but it let’s you deploy a web application on EC2 in just a few minutes. To learn more go to Cloud Tools.
