Event processing and cloud computing must be aligned for healthy cloud computing environments and, as business IT consultant Brenda Michelson suggests, “event-based data integration will be critical to information, and therefore, business synchronization.” This is an issue not only in transaction processing and cloud structures for medium-sized businesses, but in an HPC cloud environment as well. The new service from Amazon Web Services, Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) integrates the capability to allow notification events that extend to internal IT personnel, subscribers, and other groups, thus expanding the capacity of the existing core technology operating in the cloud. Michelson explores the full range of functionality of this service, including discussion of general features and limitations.
