During the presentation I showed how you can start an AMI of fedora 8 base, install apache, php and mySQL and make them all store their data on an EBS volume. This attracted a lot of attention and participants asked me to post this as an online tutorial. This tutorial requires basic knowledge of AWS like running an EC2 instance, creating an EBS volume and assigning an elastic IP to the instance. During the presentation I used ElasticFox which is a firefox plugin that allows you to perform several operations on Amazon through a graphical user interface.
