EC2/S3 for DB-intensive drupal system
Hi everybody,
First of all, I am very new to Drupal and actually not actively coding myself but more involved as a project manager. However, as I've done some programming before and had some computer science modules at university I think I do have a basic grasp on the bigger issues around cloud computing.
We're just finishing a new system which we of course hope will become a huge hit but right now I am more concerned about general hosting issues.

Multi-master synchronous replication system for MySQL on AWS with Drupal as POC
At MySQLcon I ran into the guys from Codership. They did a 25 minute presentation on how to do multi-master synchronous replication across many instances of MySQL.
In layman's terms.

Hi all!
There is available any working module for Drupal 6 + S3? If yes, what features they have? If not, what we have at this moment, which is more or less working?
Thank you :)

Tutorial for setting up a Drupal 6 site on Amazon EC2
I just completed a tutorial for running Drupal 6 on Amazon's EC2 at http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2008/09/13/running-drupal-website-amaz... . With the advent of the persistent storage that Amazon's Elastic Block Store provides, I figured that it was finally practical to operate a website out of EC2.

Amazon FPS link
Just curious if anyone has integrated Drupal with Amazon's FPS. We are evaluating Drupal from a number of perspectives but we are looking at some microtransaction (<$10) business model which makes Amazon FPS appealing. Seems like there are links to Authorize.net but not yet to FPS?
Thanks in advance,

Thought it would be a good idea to have a resources wiki page where we could all share stuff relating to Drupal on Amazon

Amazon releases elastic IPs - so you can resolve your domain name to your AWS instance
In order to host most Drupal sites you've needed a reliable IP which you can have a DNS mapping for. This is now available with AWS.

What other barriers need to be resolved for AWS to become the Drupal platform of choice?

Read moreAmazon Web Services API Module
I have just uploaded the beginning of my Amazon Web Services API module.
This module is for other module developers that want to consume Amazon's web services. It abstracts the services to functions allowing developers to easily use them without dealing with the lower level details of creating, sending, and receiving the requests. Currently, only REST style requests are supported but SOAP is planned for a later release.
Read moreec2 image for Drupal
I keep seen these images for Django or MovableType or whatever - does anyone see value in an AMI for Drupal? I'm not sure if it would be valuable enough or not. I just setup a site based on the Gutsy Public Base Image and on Victor's guide to taking a base Ubuntu server to Drupal host. It wasn't impossible, but it was harder than I'd like someone using ec2 to try out a system to have to endure.

S3 integration module
I was expecting a Drupal module for S3 to already be in existence by now, as there isn't I have a proposal for a module I'm considering developing. Any feedback or suggestions on the implementation/features are greatly welcome.
This is not intended to be a full FileAPI-like module, but more a helper for general node related usage.
- Support for node attachments (Core upload.module), CCK filefield uploads etc that are attached to a node.
- Upon publishing of a node, any associated files are streamed over to Amazon S3 bucket(s).
SoC 2007 proposal - Drupal Automated Staging Kit
Hello all,
Sorry for cross-posting; but I think people working on different aspects of Drupal may have interest in this idea.
I've submitted a SoC 2007 Drupal proposal on automating the whole process of creating a complete Drupal site with a LAMP stack in a self-contained virtual machine image. A formatted PDF version is here:
http://www.abeharry.info/SoC2007_DrupalAST_FullProposal.pdf
Here is the abstract:

Greetings! I don't intend for this to be an advertisement for Amazon, so if folks want to discuss other similar services that's totally cool, and we might even change the name of the group. But, I've been spending (too many) hours researching Amazon Web Services recently and thought some people might be interested to know what it's all about and how they might be able to use this stuff...
Read moreAutomatic site backups with Amazon S3
Hello, I've recently submitted this patch for the backup module which allows automated regular backups of a Drupal installation to Amazon S3. It currently uses Geoffrey Gaudreault's Amazon S3 PHP class, which requires the Crypt_HMAC and (hacked) HTTP_Request PEAR modules, as well as forcing the site developer to alter some variables within the code of the class. I'm hoping the File API will offer a much easier way to integrate the backup.module with Amazon S3.
