Hello all, I don't think I fully understand Amazon Web Services yet, which is why I'm asking this question. I want to know if AWS would be a nice host for a CakePHP application that of course runs off PHP, and MySQL? Would I have to change or add anything to my code if used a service like EC2? I also noticed that Amazon has it's own da...

I know how to create/administer the website on the EC2 instance I j...
Hi, Is there anyone have experience with using TeamCity on Amazon EC2? How much will it cost on monthly basis? I will run the build process once a day (most of the time). Or I should use other solution rather than EC2? We need to have online access to the build server. Thanks. ...
Hi, I'm looking to write a cli replacement for elasticfox. Would be nice to use python / ruby / bash or something alike. This is a side project to make our Ubuntu environment a bit more fun, so as much abstraction as possible - I'm loving it :). Any tips? Thanks, Maxim. ...

Hello All, I currently hold a tracking service that records visits from various sources. At times we record the visits and redirect to our clients or we let clients call us to report visits. The architecture is two worker boxes configured behind a load-balancer. This system is setup using Amazon EC2 and the load-balancer used is Amazon's...

I'm hoping to take advantage of Amazon spot instances which come at a lower cost but can terminate anytime. I want to set it up such that I can send myself data mid-way through a script so I can pick up from there in the future. How would I email myself a .rdata file? difficulty: The ideal solution will not involve RCurl since I am un...
I would like to spawn a EC2 instance that has two partitions. The first would have WinPE, which the instance would boot into on first boot. It would (unattended) install Windows onto the second partition, then reboot into that installed version of Windows. Is this possible? Can you have multiple partitions for an EC2 instance? Can one b...

I have a computational intensive project that is highly parallelizable: basically, I have a function that I need to run on each observation in a large table (Postgresql). The function itself is a stored python procedure. Amazon EC2 seems like an excellent fit for the project. My question is this: Should I make a custom image (AMI)...

Slaves failover I one of the slave fails, I will start new instance and moun EBS based on the l...
Hi, I am planning to use Hadoop on EC2. Since we have to pay per instance usage, it is not good to have fixed number of instances than what are actually required for the job. In our application, many jobs are executed concurrently and we do not know the slave requirement all the time. Is it possible to start the hadoop cluster with mini...
Hi everybody, I have thought a lot recently about the different hosting types that are available out there. We can get pretty decent latency (average) from an EC2 instance in Europe (we're situated in Sweden) and the cost is pretty good. Obviously, the possibility of scaling up and down instances is amazing for us that's in a really exp...
