The Original Magento Amazon AMI (EC2)
http://www.rjmartino.com/2009/03/08/the-original-magento-amazon-ami-ec2/I wanted to setup a magento store and compare it to a number of competitors. But, to get the thing launched, you need to customize your server.
I didn’t want to modify our server because I had concerns: security concerns, resource concerns, more-crap-installed-on-server installed.
I started working with Amazon's EC2 network and created a Magento Amazon AMI. At the time there wasn't a single AMI for Magneto. So, I created one.
