http://serverfault.com – I need your help about scalability on Amazon EC2 instanced. I have developed a web application using asp.net. I have decided that for start, I want to deploy it on a Medium High-CPU Windows Server 2008 instance. I have problem understanding what is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and what is CloudWatch Autoscaling and what each one does? My target: I want that when CPU utilization exceeds some kind of a limit, I want that Amazon will automatically create a duplicated instance (EC2 + EBS) from the current server and divide the visits between those two servers. When the stress is low, I want Amaz (HowTos)

Stories similar to Scaling Amazon EC2 instanced when traffic to my app rises

Did something change on Amazon recently?

I'm trying to redeploy to my Amazon instance, and the "Publish to Amazon Cloudformation" plugin for VS 2010 no longer appears to update my instance.

I'm working on a Drupal application, which is planned to be hosted in Amazon Elastic Beanstalk environment. Basically, Elastic Beanstalk enables the application to scale automatically by starting additional web server instances based on predefined rules. The shared database is running on an Amazon RDS instance, which all instances can access properly.

I'm migrating my development environment to the cloud to help with working remotely, and I've just come up against a bit of a roadblock.

I have an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows 2008 R2, and I can configure the environment there to my needs.

We were able to install DirectAdmin (a Web hosting control panel) on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud, branded as EC2. We would like to share the steps required to build a working instance of DirectAdmin on an Amazon server. First, I would like to personally thank Mark from DirectAdmin for being so accommodating and granting us a trial license. His help is very much appreciated!

Amazon EC2 estimation 1 year 2 weeks ago

I'm a software/web developer and for the first time I have to set up a cloud system to host one of the websites I have coded. I found very difficult to estimate the costs for an Amazon EC2 cloud system using the provided calculator.

Is there a tool from Amazon or Microsoft to automatically upgrade an ec2 instance's sql server 2008 to 2012? Or do I have to create a new instance and then import all the databases?

I have a micro instance on Amazon EC2 cloud.

Also the instance is small and it has vary low CPU and EAM usage but it generates a lot of content, so it can be considered like a web server serving small amount of static files (not of a big size) to many clients.

From the technical point of view there is no problems for such instance to handle the load serving many MBs per seconds.

What I'm consid

I have been looking for hours, for a way to set up an OpenVPN server on an Amazon EC2 instance that's running Windows Server 2008 R2.

All of the tutorials I have found deal with EC2 Linux, Ubuntu, etc. And we have already bought a Windows Reserved instance, so switching is not an option.

I have tried translating the commands, but since I am not well versed in Linux, this has been a challenge.

I have been reading about elastic IP's with Amazon EC2 instances.
