You shouldn’t need to make any changes to the application since cloud hosting will allow you to use virtually any software you run on traditional equipment. However, if you really want to leverage the cloud, you probably need to change specific parts of your app to better use cloud infrastructure for storage, queueing, messaging, processing and data.

If you’re interested in portability I suggest reading up on the Simple Cloud API. Apps built using it should be totally portable between supported cloud environments.

I’m developing SaaS application (.net), which i need to host on cloud server.

Do i need to make some changes on coding level also to host this?

And what if i have to migrate this from EC2 to other vendor? do i need to change again to make changes in my application?

Thanks in advance,
KD

I am now using Amazon’s EC2 for three separate projects and so far it has been fantastic. Their service offering is the best in the business and they are consistently innovating and releasing new products before their competitors. I would recommend them over any other cloud offering at this point in time.

I am currently researching various hosting options and Amazon’s EC2 got my attention. As I don’t have any experience with cloud computing, I was wandering if you could share whether you’re happy with the service in general and if you’ve stumbled upon any pitfalls.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Atanas.
