What URL should I go to to create my simpleDB domain?

Question

I can't figure out where I can go create a domain for my simpleDB. I've gone to AWS Management Console, I was able to create a bucket for S3, but I don't have a simple DB tab.

Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

SimpleDB is not yet supported by AWS console. They may eventually add it, but for now you have to use direct service calls (with SDK it is the easiest).

There are also some reasonably nice UI tools to access it. I don't remember on top of my head but they should be easily found via Google. – Cowans

This one for example: aws.amazon.com/code/1137?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1 – Plauen
