Question

I am going to give amazon EC2 a try by moving my drupal site to it. At present the site is on a VPS running Ubuntu 10.04 and served through nginx+fastcgi.

Regarding that there are literally thousends of Amazon Machine Images (AMI) , I am wondering which suits the best for my need? After a brief research I found a pretty good general tutorial here, however a bit dated, that suggests RightScale. Also chapterthree offers a customized image, but I am not sure what is the best solution.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The AMI's are kinda outdated now, but if you follow these instructions from the pantheon group on g.d.o using one of the Alestic Ubuntu 10.4 ami's as a base you should be fine to roll your own.

OTHER TIPS

If you are still looking for a Drupal AMI, you may want to check out the ones at BitNami. We keep them up-to-date, and they are eligible for Amazon's free tier.

You might want to check out https://www.getpantheon.com/. They are still in beta however.

if you search for pantheon or mercury in the public AMI's, you'll find the 1.0 and 1.1 beta. it should install the stack for you. I did it today and it seems really fast (although it still may be buggy because it's in beta). It's also a little daunting to have to do so much via command line (for me).
