I have been experimenting around with ec2-describe-instances and ec2-describe-instance-status in the EC2 command line tools with the goal of starting stopped instances. However I cannot neatly list all stopped instances. ec2-describe-instance-status only lists running instances (unless I am doing something wrong).
I am dealing with 32bit Windows 2003 server which was once a physical box, but now is virtualized in vmware. There are two SQL Server instances running. One is 2000 Standard, another is 2008 R2 Express. The machine supposedly has 3GB of RAM allocated to it, but SQL server instances appear to be using very little amount of RAM. If I combine all the processes I get about 500MB of used RAM.

I'm attempting to setup an AD Domain in Amazon's EC2 Cloud. I have several EC2 instances running inside a VPC. Security Groups are configured to allow all traffic from the subnet the instances are on.

We currently are in the research phase of building a "Master" database for our e-commerce business that will centralize all data, including product information, vendor information, Magento information, Amazon, etc .... We have looked into both "physical hardware" (Two RAID 5 machines, master/slave, with a HDD backup off the slave -- and a separate application server)....
I'm playing with the pricing page on AWS for EC2 instances. My understanding is you have "on-demand" which is pay as you go and then you have reserved instances where you pre pay. So coming from a VPS setup, am i correct in assuming that a reserved instances in AWS terminology is equivalent to a VPS plan? Granted I have to pay a year ahead but I wasn't sure if I'm missing anything else?
I am excited to have the chance today to use a cloud service. In case it matters I will use jiffybox.
Of course I have hundreds of questions, but for today I only got a few:
1. I want to setup 12.04 with the 2 cores and 2 GB RAM, It will run later on more cores and more RAM. Should I therefore use immediately 64 bit version?
Today cloud cost management company Cloudyn announced a new free service for calculating costs of Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances.
I've got a Windows Server 2008 R2 instance set up in Amazon EC2. I've also got some Ubuntu instances on the same EC2 account.
