Challenges with VPC Internal Routing
Hi! Has anyone successfully setup a multi-instance EC2 VPC on AWS? I'm presently running a bunch of EC2 Classic instances easily. I'm trying to make the move to VPC for lower latency and more security on the DB instances, but getting the gateways and internal routing tables setup is kicking my ass. I can't get a connection without routing back out to the internet for both Code and DB instances...this defeats the point.

Read moreComparison of shared files directory solutions
If you want to have multiple webservers for a Drupal site you need to keep your code and files directory in sync across all the webservers.
- For synchronizing the code solutions like capistrano, drush deploy, fabric, phing are all good solutions. Sharing the code using a network file system doesn't usually perform well because the files are re-read (or at least stat'd) during page load which is slow.
Shared DocRoot For Redundant Web Servers
I have setup an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with Public and Private subnets, and thought it would be a good idea to place a large filesystem attached to an NFS server in the Private portion of my VPC for the purposes of sharing a common DRUPAL_ROOT directory across multiple web server instances in the Public subnet. The web servers are hit in a round-robin fashion as defined in my Varnish config, sitting on its own EC2 Instance in front of the web servers.

Managing Domain Name with AWS EC2: New Sandbox Project
I recently started working on a sandbox project called AWS EC2 Remote Management Module: http://drupal.org/sandbox/markwk/1442412. The goal was/is to be able to remotely managed EC2 instances from within a Drupal 7 Site. It use aws php adk module/library and it works quite well for starting and stopping an instance in various regions.
Anyways, it manages to do exactly what I asked about previously here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/139744#comment-677398. Unfortunately, the code still isn't quite generalized enough for release on d.o. and contains one or two specific integration points.

Amazon DynamoDB
Interesting announcement from Amazon today: managed NoSQL via their DynamoDB: http://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb
More details:
http://allthingsdistributed.com/2012/01/amazon-dynamodb.html
The interesting part of this is the data being stored on SSD, low latency, and the ability to pre-provision capacity and usage. My initial thought about this as it applies to Drupal would be along the lines of the mongodb project. IE, a Drupal module and API to enable certain tables to be stored and queried from a DynamoDB database.
Read moreLarge Image and Video Library
I have a client that wants me to develop an image and video library which I've already done with Drupal since the taxonomy among other things works very well. My challenge now is to handle the storage requirements. Initially we will need about 1TB and eventually about 2TB. Amazon S3 seemed like a great option, both cost effective and scalable. I just can't figure out how to have the system/modules store the images in my bucket rather than a directory on the server.

Merge/Remove abandoned AWS projects
After some quick searching I discovered there are quite a few AWS projects that have been abandoned and a fair amount of overlap. Any interested in marking the abandoned projects as such and compiling a list of the overlapping projects?
A few that appear abandoned:
https://drupal.org/project/amazon_aws
http://drupal.org/project/s3_api
http://drupal.org/project/ec2
Possible overlap:
http://drupal.org/project/awssdk
http://drupal.org/project/creeper
Discussion to merge: http://drupal.org/node/1114744
Dependency of awssdk: http://drupal.org/project/media_amazon

Do you have a recommended non-Mercury Drupal public AMI?
Until Mercury 1.1 or 1.2 comes out publicly, we are going to setup a plain vanilla Drupal server for development.
Can anyone recommend an EBS boot public AMI with Drupal?
Ubuntu 10.04
Apache
MySQL
PHP
Drupal
Webmin
There are a ton of AMIs out there, so I'm just asking if anyone has a recommended one that they've used.
Of course, I know that I could pretty easily build one myself in a few hours, just looking to save a little time.
Thanks

I'm trying to create an AMI from my running Amazon instance. My running instance is a mercury 1.1beta which I initiated from the public Mercury 1.1beta public AMI.
I'm using this command where 123456789123 is my actual Amazon user ID:
$ sudo ec2-bundle-vol -d /mnt/amis -k /mnt/ids/pk-*.pem -c /mnt/ids/cert-*.pem -u 123456789123 -r i386
I get the following:

Looking for Students
We are currently seeking students interested in learning about our AWS testing implementations. The primary objective is to create a curriculum that will help educate others understand the methods utilized by the Drupal infrastructure to support it's automated testing in the Amazon cloud. This is a prime opportunity for you to become involved in Drupal and help create positive learning materials to help others understand the benefits of Amazon cloud services as they apply to Drupal.

A good Drupal hosting setup/Running Mecury AND Aegir on AWS
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience running Drupal on AWS with at least Aegir. Ideally I'm thinking it would be great to have a setup similar to Pantheon's new service but I'm not sure I can wait that long.
Read moreUbuntu updates available restart required (but how with AMI)
Apologies in advance is this is a stupid question, but when logging into my Pantheon 1.1 beta AMI via SSH, I see this message:
A newer build of the Ubuntu lucid server image is available.
It is named 'release' and has build serial '20100923'.
*** System restart required ***So it got me to thinking, if I shutdown the OS on an instance, the instance goes away, so how do I apply updates that require a reboot?
Is this update really necessary?
Read moreAmazon S3 CNAME = storage solution?
It seems so basic but I have not found discussion.
Is there a reason why CNAME can not be used to replace the typical sites/default/files with an Amazon S3 or Cloudfront bucket?
I simply want to let users upload videos and images and Amazon S3 seems a safe option.
I simply want a fast, quick option. My understanding is Drupal 7 will improve CDN options. I am not a professional developer.
Thanks for any insight.
