Amazon Web Services: Elastic Compute
Monday, April 7th, 2008I’ve been doing a lot of work with Amazon’s web services. EC2 is a space to host virtual servers. Behind the scenes it’s just Xen, a huge network and some firewall rules. But from my perspective it’s a virtually unlimited pool of servers that can be created and destroyed at any time.
There’s a chance I can post a public image of a custom Debian testing AMI. If I can’t I’ll be happy to explain the process via email.
