Question

What ec2 image (ami) do you recommend for working with java 5, jboss, mysql, apache?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try this one, or just install one of the Amazon base Fedora 8 AMIs, install the stack yourself and create your own custom AMI (more flexible).

OTHER TIPS

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I suggest going with well-known providers of AMI images. To me, it's worth putting in the effort of installing the software you need on a trustworthy system. I'm not saying there are trojan horses and server-side-spyware all over the place, but think about it: why do you have to install from media after a break-in? Because even if things seem fine, you can never be sure if you can trust your system. Like The Oracle says, "know thyself."

These days, I have been enjoying the Ubuntu 8.10 server image (just search for AMIs with the string "canonical"). If you add the universe repo then there is a Sun Java5 package as well as Apache httpd of course. I'm not sure about JBoss, sorry.
