Early on in the development of Stackato, we recognized that good logging features would be critical to developers and administrators. We also knew that we didn't want to reinvent the wheel, and made the intentional decision not to build log analysis and aggregation tools into the product itself.
Several colleagues and I spent last week in Northern California at UBM TechWeb’s Cloud Connect event at the Santa Clara Convention Center. It was a great conference for ActiveState, and especially for Stackato private-PaaS technology. Here are the top ten things I learned during the recent trip to my old South Bay stomping grounds:
Gary Chau, a Python developer at Knight IT Inc. recently contacted us about upgrading to the latest version of Komodo IDE. It turns out Gary has been a big fan of Komodo and ActivePython since 2003.
One thing that continually amazes me about Stackato is how it makes difficult things easy. A good example is the centralized aggregated logging function, which should be really hard in the cloud, but it’s not with Stackato’s easy to use yet sophisticated logging capabilities.
Activators in the Community: Driven to make a difference, one of ActiveState’s core values, activators take the lead in their communities and are involved in good causes outside work. Every month we profile ActiveState’s community heroes and their inspiring efforts to make the world a better place.
This month, we are profiling Carey Hoffman who is coding for peace.
It is the Year of the Snake, and here at ActiveState, the snake in question has always been Python. The Year of the Snake heralds a great year ahead for the Python community. Fourth blog of a series celebrating the Year of the Python.
Enterprises are often disappointed when they move to the cloud. They expect efficiency, flexibility, and productivity gains from virtualization, and it doesn't happen. They still run into the same IT roadblocks. That's why they come to us.

This week, ActiveBlog invites Harold Spencer Jr. to share a blog discussing how to deploy Drupal on Eucalyptus, using Stackato, Amazon Route 53, and the Eucalyptus Community Cloud.
