Are you still watching in the cloud computing age? -Amazon AWS and MapGuide

I believe that you have been impatient with the word cloud computing. All kinds of concepts or gimmicks are overwhelming. But are these just gimmicks? If you attended the Autodesk developer day at the end of last year, I believe you will also remember the term cloud computing, but you may still feel that this is still far away from you, just like the cloud on the horizon, not reachable. However, cloud computing has come to us now! If you are still watching, I will introduce a Japanese customer who has successfully moved MapGuide to the Amazon AWS cloud computing platform.

 

At the DevDay event in Tokyo, I learned that MapGuide developer Guide-map.com in Japan has also done a lot of exciting work. Recently they have successfully moved MapGuide Open Source to Amazon's cloud platform EC2, although there are not many functions at present, this is an important step. You can access them through the address below. They have made three demo sites based on MapGuide and Amazon AWS about natural gas, water loading and water launching.

Below is the operation of MapGuide Open Source on the Amazon AWS cloud platform:

 

 

You may have doubts about an open source GIS product such as MapGuide, but its application abroad is in full swing. The most important thing to mention is that during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the GIS System of Vancouver city uses MapGuide as a platform. In addition, there are public transit systems in Singapore, and systems that combine the MapGuide of Slovenia and Google Earth/Map. You may also want to try it out:

After reading so much, I hope to inspire you and look forward to the cool, dazzling, and practical MapGuide application from China.
