Drupal 7 is a powerful CMS for building dynamic web sites. This version is the newest release and brings a wealth of improvements to the Drupal platform. The most notable improvements include:

  • Ease of Use The administration UI has been reworked to provide a much more intuitive interface for accomplishing tasks. Modules & themes can now be installed directly via remote URL.
  • ScalabilityThey've made various optimizations to improve the performance giving you visitors faster load times and giving your site the ability to handle greater load.
  • Power & Flexibility You can now add custom fields to anything and the set of most useful & commonly installed themes are included in the core download

The JumpBox.com website itself is a Drupal JumpBox. Custom content types enable us to make specialized templates for things like application listings (the page you're reading now), landing pages that welcome users from various sources and categories & search result listings.

The best way to experience Drupal 7 is to sign up for an account and launch a test instance on Amazon EC2.

What is a JumpBox?

A JumpBox makes using server software quick and simple. It packages an application's software, dependencies, and application data into a single virtual computer that enables you to focus on the application, not the details of getting the application to run.
