Amazon EC2 startups and scalability
Senthil Nayagam
I have been investigating EC2 for over 2 months now.
after many years I am doing R&D and installations on linux.
we are seriously considering EC2/S3 for scaling for our startup.
have tested with following stacks
Ruby on rails
mysql 5
apache 2.23
mongrel
imagemagick
multimedia server
red5
imagemagick
ffmpeg
there are still some peices missing in this jigsaw puzzle, hope amazon fixes those in time for our public launch
my expectation includes
1) dedicated IP address
2) persistent storage
3) scalable DB solution(what if server crashes, I should not lose data)
4) support for load balancers
will update this article with additional information
