We have 5 servers running on the same network. We have already enabled ColdFusion server monitoring on the local server. Is there a way I can see the status of all remote machines - on one machine - just like SeeFusion?
The Admin API giving us this much freedom.
You can use Server Manager powered by Adobe AIR
Monitor multiple servers
Server Manager provides different views to monitor servers that you
register with the application. To toggle between these views, click
the required view icon from the upper-right corner.

I have a remote (virtual) Ubuntu development station, on which I installed Django, and on which I'm running "manage runserver".
Now, I need to browse my project's URLs, and debug their view functions line by line.
But I fail to remotely use the web browser on the remote development station (there was time that I succeeded doing so, but it was horribly slow).
I therefore would like to enable the web browser on my own laptop to connect the web server of Django that's running on the remote development station.
Is there a way to do so?
Im developing a software and im considering it as a Service because i need it to listen to ports 24X7 and notify when new client got connected(Toast Notification). I was able to send Toast notification from classic Win32 c++ application but i can't send it through Windows Service even when i check 'Allow Service to Interact with UI'. What do you think about the software Architecture?! Do you think i should reconsider the software Architecture or there is any other way to send Toast notification through Windows Service?!
"Allow Service to Interact with UI" only has an effect until XP. Up to then, the first user logged in runs in Session 0, the same Session that services run in. But from Vista onwards, Session 0 is now isolated, users run in Session 1 and higher only, so services can no longer interact with users.
When you want your service to display a toast, have the service use CreateProcessAsUser() to spawn a separate process in an available user Session (plenty of examples floating around demonstrating how to do that), and then that process can display the toast as needed.
We have a software product made in .Net.
It has one Asp.net website and four Windows services.
Both Asp.net application and Windows services communicates with SQL server installed in same machine.
Right now we have hosted this product in a Windows server 2012 R2. So one server contains one asp.net application, four windows services and a SQL server.
Now we have decided to move this infrastructure to AWS.
Basically we want to get following benefits:
IIS and windows services load balancing.
IIS , windows service, SQL - fail over. So if one server goes down, there will be other one who can continue to serve requests.
So anyone can please provide me some links or other sort of help which can help me to get started as I am new in AWS?
Thank you.
You should read the "Well Architected Framework" from AWS
https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
The site points to each pillar of the framework. There's also one whole whitepaper on the subject, a good read if you're seriously attempting a solution in the cloud.
I have two questions, but let me set the stage first:
Say you have a typical scenario where you have a web application and a mid-tier web service.
The web application receives a request from the user, queries the web service and sends a response to the user.
If the web service and the web application were running on the same machine, the web app would go through localhost:port to access the web service.
(I do understand that AppHarbor web and background workers are not running on traditional machines but it's easier to use that metaphor)
To make this slightly complex, the web service is actually a console app running a HTTP server and thus acting as a web service, let's call it webservice.exe.
My first question is: will AppHarbor run webservice.exe on the same machine as the web application and so enable the web application to access the web service via localhost:port.
If not, will the machine name where the console app is running always be static (which allows web app to reliably access machinename:port). If so, will the webservice.exe machine allow incoming connections from the web application machine?
My second question is if both apps run on the same machine (the localhost scenario), will external users be able to access webservice.exe via myapp.apphb.com:port ?
Thanks!!
AppHarbor does not currently support background workers (which is where your console application would be running) attaching to ports.
If you instead decide to host the service in an ASP.NET application and run it in a web worker on AppHarbor (as a normal web site), then it would be available at myawesomeapplication.apphb.com or using a custom hostname if you decide to add one.
If the service-abstraction is not needed, you might also want to just do away with it and fold it into the main web site.
Simple problem, actually. I am trying to evaluate the possibilities of Google Apps, using Python as development language. It seems practical to create a web application or web site with it, but how about creating web services?
I am not too interested in solutions to create a SOAP or REST service in Python for Google Apps, since a simple Google search should provide plenty of solutions. I am more interested in experiences and ease of use.
But the real question is: When comparing a web service in Google Apps with web services in the Microsoft Azure environment, which would provide the better performance? The best user experience? I don't care for the actual development languages but need a good comparison of pro's and cons of web services in both the Google App Engine and Microsoft Azure.
Somehow, Azure seems better suited for services while Google seems better for sites. A tough choice...
Would be very interesting to see if both could be combined into a single solution. :-)
Btw, choosing which engine to use also means choosing the proper development environment and programming language. While I'm proficient in .NET and Python and many other languages, the choice for the service engine determines my focus for future projects.
When building services in Windows Azure, they'd simply be processes running in your VM (Windows Server 2008 SP2 or R2 SP1). You can host services easily in any of the three role types:
Web Role (essentially Windows Server with IIS running) - just add a WCF endpoint to IIS or self-host from your own process).
Worker role (Windows Server with IIS not running) - self-host from your own process
VM role (your own Windows 2008 Server VM pushed to Windows Azure) - Host with whatever mechanism you install / set up.
Each VM in Windows Azure may expose a total of 5 endpoints. These can be a combination of input (external facing) and internal endpoint, each port supporting tcp, http, or https. You define endpoints in your vm role's properties.
Internal endpoints are only usable by other VMs in your deployment. You can't see them / access them from anywhere else, including other Windows Azure deployments. Input endpoints are accessible by the outside world.
If you want an app running in Google to access your Windows Azure service, simply connect to the endpoint via ip+port. The one thing you'll want to be aware of is bandwidth usage. Because your Google-hosted app will be in one data center and your Windows Azure service in another, you'll pay ingress / egress for data going in and out of your Windows Azure service (and I'm guessing there's an associated bandwidth charge on the Google side, but I'm not sure).
It's actually pretty simple to set up a service. For .NET-based examples, look at the labs in the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit (this also other good examples, such as setting up your first Windows Azure application). For a python service host, you'll need to execute python.exe from your VM role's OnStart() event handler, passing in your script name (and optionally port number to listen on). For a simple example of launching python.exe, look at Steve Marx's blog post here.
EDIT: If you're looking to host multiple services (e.g. multiple ports), you can choose to host them in a single VM role or in separate roles, to optimize for cost (with the known limit of 5 endpoints) or performance (scale each service independently).
