In this presentation, the Eclipse plugins from Amazon (announced at EclipseCon 2009) will be compared with the tooling for Microsoft Azure (announced at Eclipse Summit Europe 2009). Additionally, the features of the g-Eclipse project will be presented. g-Eclipse 1.0 was released in December 2009 as an Eclipse project for Grid and Cloud computing within the Eclipse community. g-Eclipse is a framework that allows users and developers to access Computing Grids and Cloud Computing resources in a unified way.

shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., • Delivery Models
networks, servers, storage,  IaaS
applications, and services) that can  PaaS
be rapidly provisioned and released  SaaS
with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.” • Deployment models

6. If you think about tooling for the Cloud...
What is the level of integration into your existing tool?
What layers in the Cloud are you addressing?
Where are the tools running? In your IDE our in your browser?
