Dear professionals AWS OpsWorks now supports Java applications.

For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople recalls that, AWS OpsWorks is an application management service that makes it easy to model and manage your entire application.

Henceforth the new OpsWorks Java layer automatically configures Amazon EC2 instances with Apache Tomcat using sensible defaults in

order to run your Java application.

This means:

·        You can deploy one or more Java apps, such as a front-end web server and back-end business logic, on the same server,

·        You can choose a different Tomcat version, change the heap size, or use a different JDK.

If interested, go to the OpsWorks console and create a stack. Next, add a Java layer. Click Instances in the navigation column, add an instance, and start it.
