Computing in the Clouds with AWS

The admin*team at The UNIX Forums*have been considering moving the UNIX and*Linux*Forums to the clouds - the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.* Amazon EC2 is one option to scale the forums, which is a*LAMP application.*

Amazon EC2 allows*us to rent dedicated servers (instances) on-demand to run applications, such as the forums.* Then we can run and host on EC2 any Linux application; but unlike classic hosting where*folks install your application and set up your server for you, Amazon Web Services provide*only*the infrastructure.
