Head in the Clouds
I spent most of today trying out AWS. I am really impressed.
I created a basic AMI setup for Django. Then I stored my AMI in S3 and registered it. I then created multiple instances of it. All worked well.
I tested file transfer between the instances and was getting ~15Mb/s which suprised me.
My next step will be to refine my AMI so that all the basic software for my websites is on the AMI and the content and webapps are stored in an EBS volume.
I expect I will be writing more on this topic in the next little while.
