Amazon EC2 and Load Balancing

Moshe Morris
MemberHello,
First of all - I wanted to say thanks for these tutorials - they are excellent and extremely helpful.
I was wondering if you know about how to set up a server on Amazon EC2.
In particular, I was wondering about setting up a adapting the specifications in this article to Amazon EC2: http://wiki.gogrid.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_Set_Up_a_Load_Balanced_and_Redundant_LAMP_Web_Application_on_GoGrid.
It seems to me that if we take your tutorials about how to set up nginx, etc. and combine it with the advice in that article (on Amazon, though, which has access to Ubuntu - GoGrids doesn't) then we would have an extremely powerful, flexible and secure server configuration.
What are your thoughts? If you are into the idea, do you think you could make some tutorials on it?
Thanks and be well,
Moshe

hey Moshe .. I've answered this elsewhere .. basically, you need to sell me on why AWS is a safe and genuinely good value option. reports I've read are extremely contradictory ("free" vs hidden costs and lots of lost data reports.)

MemberI was very interested in aws myself, until I crunched out a few numbers. Bloody expensive hosting option. Can do better with a vps. Only Their s3 storage, and cloudfront is still worthwhile using. There are too many "whatif this happens" to make their other options worthwhile. Because if something does happen, you will get a huge bill - its these grey areas that turned me away.
