Manipulating Files in the Cloud
Posted May 14, 2009 – 10:54 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in ProgrammingA few days ago I got to the see the power of cloud computing up close and personal. Someone had a large amount of files already stored in Amazon S3 which needed to be combined with another large set of files. The problem was that my desktop could do it but it would take forever to download and upload. The solution: one EC2 instance of stock Ubuntu 9.04 running for about 15-20 minutes. Download the files with s3cmd, rename using shell scripts, combine and reupload.
