This makes it easy to run Drupal on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Before now, in order to effectively run a web site on EC2, you need to pick an OS, get a web server and database server up and running, install Drupal, and connect it to persistent storage. Existing EC2 AMIs have out of date Drupal versions or don't store your data safely.
This is a pre-built AMI that makes it easy to get started with Drupal on EC2. Just start it up and you're ready to go. And it works with any version of Drupal you'd like.
What can you do with an AMI?
- QA a site. You launch a server and shut it down a few hours later when you're done.
- Test new modules without messing with a production server.
- Provide a platform for a development team to work on.
- Host your production site with the peace of mind of a dedicated server with persistent storage.
What's included
The AMI includes a full LAMP stack for Drupal.
- Fedora Core 8 Linux
- Apache 2.2.9
- PHP 5.2.6
- MySQL 5.0.45
- Drupal Installer for any version of your choice
The database has been tuned for performance and a number of tables converted to InnoDB to improve performance.
