Connecting to Linux/UNIX Instances from Linux/UNIX. After you launch your instance, you can connect to it and use it the way that you'd use a computer sitting in front of you. Note After you launch an instance, it can take a few minutes for the instance to be ready so that you can connect to it. Check that your instance has passed its status checks - you can view this information in the Status Checks column on the Instances page. The following instructions explain how to connect to your instance using an SSH client. Before you connect to your Linux instance, complete the following prerequisites: Install an SSH clientYour Linux computer most likely includes an SSH client by default.

Connecting to Your Linux Instance Use the following procedure to connect to your Linux instance using an SSH client. To connect to your instance using SSH (Optional) You can verify the RSA key fingerprint on your instance by using one of the following commands on your local system (not on the instance). Transferring Files to Linux Instances from Linux Using SCP. Connecting to Instances. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide (API Version 2014-02-01) Connect to Your Instance This section describes how to connect to instances that you launched and how to transfer files between your local computer and your instance. After you connect to your instance, you can try one of our tutorials, such as Tutorial: Installing a LAMP Web Server or Tutorial: Hosting a WordPress Blog with Amazon EC2.

The AMI provides the operating system, application server, and applications for your instance.

When you sign up for AWS, you can get started with Amazon EC2 for free using the AWS Free Usage Tier. You can either leverage the Free Usage Tier to launch and use a micro instance for free for 12 months. You can launch an instance using the following methods. After you launch your instance, you can connect to it and use it. When you are finished with an instance, be sure to terminate it. Pure CSS3 typing animation with steps() Steps() is a relatively new addition to the CSS3 animations module. Instead of interpolating the values smoothly, it allows us to define the number of “frames” precisely. So I used it to create headers that have the well-known animated “typing effect”: As you can see, the number of characters is hardcoded in the steps() function, but that’s the only place.

Everything else is totally flexible. Also, this particular way requires a solid background and an extra <span>. If you’re having trouble understanding how it works, take a look at this simpler example, with just the cursor. Gecko (Firefox) and Webkit only at the moment, since other engines haven’t implemented CSS animations yet. Search Algorithms with Google Director of Research Peter Norvig. Google Artificial Intelligence in Search As you will see in the transcript below, this discussion focused on the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in search. Peter outlines for us the approach used by Google on a number of interesting search problems, and how they view search problems in general. This is fascinating reading for those of you who want to get a deeper understanding of how search is evolving and the technological approaches that are driving it.

The types of things that are detailed in this interview include: The basic approach used to build Google TranslateThe process Google uses to test and implement algorithm updatesHow voice driven search worksThe methodology being used for image recognitionHow Google views speed in searchHow Google views the goals of search overall Some of the particularly interesting tidbits include: Teaching automated translation systems vocabulary and grammar rules is not a viable approach.
