Here’s a little HowTo on how to setup CouchDB on an AWS EC2 instance. But outside of AWS (and EC2), this setup works on any other Ubuntu server, and I suppose Debian as well.

If you’re interested in using Amazon EC2 and other services to deploy a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack, you will probably find this post invaluable. I spent about three full days migrating all my sites over from a physical dedicated server to an EC2 instance, and what follows are several things I learned during the process.

Turnkey Linux is an open source project that’s developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances which are optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios and can be deployed in just a few minutes on bare metal, a virtual machine and in the cloud.

So, the question I am trying to answer is “roughly how much performance can we gain from using Redis for storing simple data instead of MySQL?”. Then it is up to you to look at all the differences and decide whether it is worth pursuing a switch to Redis.

Note: I will be looking at other key-value stores in the near future

I’m using EC2 from 2 years, but only in these lastest months I notice that the small instances not are performant.I’m working to various project to use autoscalability, but every my trying give me not good results.For example start two small fedora8 Amazon bundled

The name of the new program is ec2-consistent-snapshot.

Over the last year as I and my co-workers have been using this code in production systems, we identified a number of ways it could be improved. Or, put another way, some serious issues came up when the idealistic world view of the original simplistic script met the complexities which can and do arise in the brutal real world.

One of the fundamental issues to deal with while building out my company’s cloud deployment was the need to assign our own hostnames to our instances. To accomplish this, we needed some sort of internal dns solution. One complication we encountered was that the instances where located in different EC2 regions (EU, US and soon, a possible second US region). Each Amazon region has it’s own private class A ip range, to which the instances are NAT’d, and public class B’s.
