AWS Manager Introduction
AWS Manager was created in June, 2008. At this time, the author was a participant in the EBS alpha testing program and there were no consoles available to support EBS. Instead of typing EBS volume and snapshot commands on the command line, AWS Manager was created to save time during the testing process.
Other excellent consoles include: the AWS Management Console from Amazon, the Rightscale console, and the Ylastic Dashboard.
AWS Manager is the only console (as far as we know) for which the software is available as a WAR file which can be deployed in a web application archive (WAR) file. Providing the application as a WAR file allows anyone to deploy the software into a web application environment such as Glassfish or Apache Tomcat.
The source code is available with build instructions, hosted by Google Project Hosting
