Cloud computing has made it easy to build applications that run reliably even under a heavy load, and developers need to know if and when the cloud, and thus their application, is having problems.
We’re very pleased to announce today that we’ve acquired Cloud Status for iPhone, an application originally created by Alasdair Allan, noted author, software programmer and expert iOS developer. Our collaboration and acquisition of the Cloud Status for iPhone app has allowed us to not only add new features in the latest version 4.4 release, but also to make the app available for FREE to the developer community and IT departments around the world who depend on cloud based services to run their businesses.
The Cloud Status for iPhone version 4.4 release includes the following features:
- FREE to download
- Support for iOS4
- Support and reporting for Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, Google Apps, Microsoft Windows Azure, and Rackspace Cloud
- Fully supported retina display in iPhone 4
Each of the supported cloud services has a separate page and details the status for the various services provided. A quick read indicator denotes the status for each service: the status for the service is good, there is a problem with the service, or the service is down. Clicking on each service component provides further information as to the current status of that component, and any problems it might be experiencing.
We greatly respect and admire the work of Alasdair Allen on the iOS platform, and we plan to work with him in the future to create additional applications that will support other WatchMouse performance monitoring services.
