Over the last week we have been working to migrate various
Adhearsion services to new homes. This could not have come a moment too soon, as during the migration one of the hard drives in our server in Texas gave up the ghost. Of course we used
RAID, so we did not miss a beat, but clearly it was time to move along.
To this end we have now migrated the Adhearsion
website,
wiki and
API docs to
Amazon EC2. Leveraging
S3 and
EBS we have a great solution that allows us to quickly fire up more servers if and when needed. The cloud is great.
We have also moved the
Sandbox to a new hosted server.
Our friends at
Voxeo have provided a great server for us and are now sponsoring the Adhearsion Sandbox. It is great to have a
visionary leader in the telephony cloud space involved with the Adhearsion community.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind folks what the Adhearsion Sandbox provides. We have provided a hosted system that takes away the need to install your own Asterisk to get started developing Adhearsion applications. Simply install Adhearsion,
sign-up for a Sandbox account and get started writing apps. Our goal is to lower all the barriers to make it easy for developers to realize the possibilities of voice in modern web development.
Enjoy the new servers!
