I'm writing an app and had been paying an hourly rate for my EC2 instance, as I've needed to test. I decided I should just pay for a reserved instance to save money in the long run, but now that I have one, I'm confused about how I'm supposed to manage it. In the "Instances" section of the EC2 management console, I can see the instances ...

I have lots of experience running my app on Amazon EC2. It requires a low-end server, and I currently pay approx $90/month for the server (yes, I know I don't really need the scalability, but I still use EC2).

Have a few applications where EC2 small instances are, well, too large. So the announcement of micro instances is just what the doctor ordered. I'd like to take a small instance's EBS volume, detach it, and pair it up with a micro instance. At some point it might be great to go the other way and upsize a micro instance to a small or bey...
I have a local filesystem image that I want to transfer to an Amazon EBS volume and boot as an EC2 micro instance. The instance should have the EBS volume as it's root filesystem - and I will be booting the instance with the Amazon PV-GRUB "kernels". I have used ec2-bundle-image to create a bundle from the image, and I have used ec2-upl...
I am currently running a new .NET application on an Amazon instance. I really like it, as it comes with Windows 2k8, IIS7 and SQL server pre-installed. However, it's costing a bit, at about $90/month for a small instance, which is catagorized as: "Small Instance (Default) 1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 C...
I am trying to set up two virtual hosts served over SSL on Apache in Amazon AWS environment. I understand that SSL cannot use Name Virtual Host on Apache unless: * I bind two IPs to Apache each serving a separate virtual host.

Hi All, We are looking to move all of our systems to a virtualized env. We will be going with EC2 and it appears that if we can install something like vmware or KVM on EC2 then create VMs as needed it would be the most cost effective solution for us. Is this possible? thanks! ...

I am new to Amazon EC2 and just pulled down some Unix based image (I think it was an IBM image). It launched fine, worked great and was able to be stopped and snapshotted, all through the console.

Hello! I am sure this is a very common question and may have been answered but I am unable to find proper solution. I have a server that needs to be highly available and should carry a very minimal network latency. I did some benchmarking on the server alone and noticed that it responds pretty fast at an avg of 300 ms. But the network l...
