<p>I am excited, my iPhone 4 is on order!</p>
<p><a href="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/new-iphone-specs.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-109" title="new-iphone-specs" src="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/new-iphone-specs-300x202.jpg" alt="iPhone 4 Specs" width="300" height="202" /></a>Not only do I have an iPhone 4 on order, <a class="zem_slink" title="IPhone OS" rel="homepage" href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/">iOS</a> 4 comes out on Monday July 21, 2010 for users of the <a class="zem_slink" title="iPhone" rel="homepage" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone">iPhone 3G</a> S. The new iPhone <a class="zem_slink" title="Computer software" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software">software</a> has many features to boast, foldres, unified inbox, <a class="zem_slink" title="IBooks" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBooks">iBooks</a>, the ability to create play lists from your phone, 5x Digital Zoom, Faces and Places, to name a few, and one I am particularly excited about is <a class="zem_slink" title="Computer multitasking" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking">multitasking</a>.</p>
<p>Multitasking will be nice, one of my biggest annoyances with iPhone iOS is the requirement to always exit an application to use another application.</p>
<p><span id="more-75"></span></p>
<p>The iPhone 4 offers plenty of its own features, including physical astetic design changes. One feature of the iPhone 4 I am excited about is FaceTime calling. A new <a class="zem_slink" title="Videophone" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videophone">video calling</a> feature where you can see the person on the other end of the call, and they can see you, right on your iPhone screen!</p>
<p>The new iPhone also aluminosilicate glass on both the front and the back of the phone. This glass is engineered for <a class="zem_slink" title="Helicopter" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter">helicopter</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Windshield" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield">windshields</a> and is 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic. Hopefully this will reduce the screen breakage I am sure we all have seen our friends (or ourselves) suffer. I would still make sure to get a scratch resistant cover for your phone!</p>

<p>I had initially installed the new site using <a class="zem_slink" title="WordPress" rel="homepage" href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> 3.0 in a Multi-Domain configuration. This is a pretty cool new feature of WordPress 3.0. I came to find, this new feature of WordPress a bit of a pain to get working properly, and the work that had to be done in order to make each new domain work properly was a bit frustrating.</p>
<p><span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>For the time being, <a href="http://vbizcloud.net">vbizcloud.net</a> my <a class="zem_slink" title="Software as a Service" rel="wikinvest" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Software_as_a_Service">SaaS</a> and hosting company will continue to experiment with this configuration, but we have decided to create a separate <a class="zem_slink" title="Database" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database">database</a> and code base for each domain.</p>
<p>Our servers have all been redeployed into <a class="zem_slink" title="Amazon" rel="homepage" href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon</a>&#8216;s EC2 service with <a class="zem_slink" title="Amazon EC2" rel="homepage" href="http://amazon.com">Elastic Load Balancing</a>, the databases are all using Amazon&#8217;s <a class="zem_slink" title="Radio Data System" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System">RDS</a> service, and for our sites which deliver high amounts of content, they are using Amazon&#8217;s <a class="zem_slink" title="Content delivery network" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network">Content Delivery network</a> to deliver content with the lowest amount of latency possible.</p>
<p>My Social <a class="zem_slink" title="Computer network" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network">Networking</a>, and <a class="zem_slink" title="SEO services" rel="homepage" href="http://www.seo.com/services/">SEO services</a> are likely to continue on a new domain where I will be collaborating with another <a class="zem_slink" title="Search engine optimization" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization">SEO</a> and Social Networking professional. I will announce more on this later as more developments unfold.</p>
<p>I am still continuing with my quest to restart phillipbroberts.com with a clean slate. phillipbroberts.com will revert back to my <a class="zem_slink" title="Blog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">personal blog</a>, with my rants, and technical articles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><fb:like layout="button_count" show_faces="false" action="recommend" font="arial" colorscheme="dark"  href="http://phillipbroberts.com/2010/06/amazon-aws-and-wordpress/" width="200"></fb:like></p>
<p><a href="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wplogo.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-59" title="WordPress Logo" src="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wplogo.jpeg" alt="WordPress" width="130" height="81" /></a><a title="WordPress" href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> has some pretty great plugins for integrating your <a class="zem_slink" title="Website" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website">website</a> with <a class="zem_slink" title="Amazon Web Services" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_Services">Amazon AWS</a>.</p>
<p>One of the key features which can be extremely important to your website is the speed and delivery of any uploaded media. This could range from images, to videos, to podcasts. Amazon S3 and <a class="zem_slink" title="CloudFront" rel="homepage" href="http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/">CloudFront</a> allow you to use their <a class="zem_slink" title="Content delivery network" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network">Content Delivery Network</a> to offer media in a low latency fashion. You can read more about Amazons CloudFront service at <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/">http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/</a> in order to make Amazon CloudFront easier to use (almost automagic) you can use the<a href="http://tantannoodles.com/toolkit/wordpress-s3/">Amazon S3 for WordPress Plugin</a>. This plugin allows you to upload all of your media to an S3 Bucket for use with Amazon CloudFront.</p>
<p><a href="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo_aws.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-60" title="AWS Logo" src="http://staticpbr.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo_aws.gif" alt="AWS Logo" width="164" height="60" /></a>Along with the Amazon S3 for WordPress Plugin a nice plugin is the <a href="http://codepolice.net/2008/12/08/generate-expiring-urls-for-amazon-s3-via-a-wordpress-plugin/">Amazon S3 URL Generator</a>, this plugin allows for dynamic generation of expiring <a class="zem_slink" title="Uniform Resource Locator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator">URLs</a> to your media stored in S3. This protects your media from being hotlinked against.</p>
<p>Another important plugin for WordPress websites is the ability to maintain regular backups. I use<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-s3-backups/">WP S3 Backups plugin</a>. This plugin allows you to define an S3 bucket to backup all important parts of your WordPress site, including your themes, database, plugins, settings, and media.</p>
<p>For all of our sites we use <a title="Amazon EC2" href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/" target="_blank">Amazon EC2</a> along with <a title="Amazon Elastic Load Balancing" href="http://aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/" target="_blank">Amazon Elastic Load Balancing</a> in order to provide highly available auto-scaling <a class="zem_slink" title="Load balancing (computing)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_%28computing%29">load balanced</a> servers. This makes our websites highly available, and prepared to handle any traffic load thrown at it. Only the static WordPress files are maintained on these servers.</p>
<p>One final important peice of the puzzle is your database. As I stated before, our servers are only serving up the WordPress files. Our database is hosted in <a title="Amazon RDS" href="http://aws.amazon.com/rds/" target="_blank">Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)</a>. This allows us to maintain our database in a highly available, low latency environment that can be dynamically served from multiple datacenters based on geographical location.</p>
<p>Using these services can help make your website fast, highly available, and completely redundant and backed up.</p>
