We're using S3, SimpleDB and SQS on quite a complicated project. I'd like to be able to automatically track their usage, to be sure we don't suddenly spend large amounts of money when we didn't intend to (perhaps because of a bug). Is there a way of reading the usage figures of all Amazon Web Services and/or the current real time dolla...
I have gone many hours trying to get this working........ Here are my specs: -Windows server 2008 (installed IIS7 after initial AMI) -Sql server 2005 Standard (Installed registered copy) -.NET Framework 3.5 (website with SSL needed) Any instance from my most current AMI with everything installed and the website running will reboo...
We usually blacklist IPs address with iptables. But in Amazon EC2, if a connection goes through the Elastic Load Balancer, the remote address will be replaced by the load balancer's address, rendering iptables useless. In the case for HTTP, apparently the only way to find out the real remote address is to look at the HTTP header HTTP_X_F...
I recently brought up a cluster on EC2, and I felt like I had to invent a lot of things. I'm wondering what kinds of tools, patterns, ideas are out there for how to deal with this. Some context: I had 3 different kinds of servers, so first I created AMIs for each of them. The first AMI had zookeeper, so step one in deploying the syst...

Hej, I runned a Fedora instance in Amazon EC2. I can access and work on it perfectly by Putty. I also set Seconds between keepalives to 1 for not losing the connection due to inactivy (I mean in Putty).

When you move beyond using one instance for your database, what is the best practice when using EC2? If the first instance is a master and you're spinning up slaves, they would need to scan the transaction log and bring themselves up to date before the slaves are useable correct? If the master had been running awhile and was busy, this...
I am running a EC2 small instance as my production server. It has 1.7G memory. I noticed it uses almost all memory. However when I check top output, it looks like that only 30% is actually used. Did I misread the top output? Here is the top output (sorted by %MEM) top - 21:33:15 up 141 days, 9:39, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00,...

I would like to boot from an EBS snapshot for convenience but then I would like to detach the volume after launch so I don't have to pay for it. Is this possible? ...
I like the convenience of taking an AMI snapshot - but ideally I do no want to pay for the volume to be attached to my running instance. Is there a way to save a snapshot instance to S3 and then launch from S3 without attaching a volume to the running instance - gaining the convenience of snapshots - without the running costs? ...

Hi All, If anyone has or is running a Grails application on their server I would appreciate some details on where to go after creating the WAR.

I am building a web application with Spring Security that will live on Amazon EC2 and use Amazon's Elastic Load Balancers. Unfortunately, ELB does not support sticky sessions, so I need to ensure my application works properly without sessions. So far, I have setup RememberMeServices to assign a token via a cookie, and this works fine, b...
I'm a long time developer but not very experienced with DNS. Here's my problem: Our app launches servers on Amazon EC2 for clients. One client wants to use custom DNS's for every server launched instead of the normal long public DNS provided by AWS: for example server-5.demo.ourclient.com, server-6.demo.ourclient.com. What's the easi...
