Adobe has announced a full version of its LiveCycle ES is available as a hosted application within the Amazon Web Services cloud computing environment.Adobe Systems has announced the availability of Adobe LiveCycle ES
Developer Express software, a full version of Adobe LiveCycle ES hosted
in the Amazon Web Services cloud computing environment.
Mitch Nelson, director of marketing, Adobe’s Business Processes
Business Unit, said that using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) technologies,
Adobe's offering provides a virtual, self-contained development
environment where enterprise developers can prototype, develop and test
Adobe LiveCycle ES applications without needing to install and
configure Adobe LiveCycle ES themselves.
"Within the LiveCycle world we have a developer community -- the
Adobe Enterprise Developer Program," Nelson said. "And we've taken
LiveCycle and installed it on the Amazon EC2 cloud and made that
available to developers. You can now go to a portal called Developer
Express and launch a good, clean copy of LiveCycle. And you can do all
your development work on the cloud."
As Adobe officials put it, with Adobe LiveCycle ES Developer
Express, Adobe LiveCycle ES applications are pre-configured as ready to
run server instances on the Amazon EC2 server. This can help reduce the
time required to boot new server instances to minutes, allowing
enterprise developers to quickly begin testing and modifying
applications.
