Anyone has done any test installing ez publish on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) - `Limited Beta`

<i>http://aws.amazon.com/
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2</i>

It would be interesting to hear of others current and future experiences surrounding this topic.

Has anyone yet created an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) for specific use with eZ Publish?

Cheers,
Heath

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of setting up an Amazon image (ami) to test the new php5 version of eZ (eZ 4). Unfortunately there are some challenges that has to be resolved first - primarily the lack of persistent storage. When an ami is shutdown it will loose al changes done since boot thereby reverting to its original state. To keep the changes one must rebundle the instance into a new image which is a time consuming process.

I'm planning to add persistent storage using S3 and Elasticdrive but I haven't got the setup all fixed yet. If I manage to get a running instance with a funtional persistent storage I will make it available to the comnunity as an public ami.

Cheers,

It seems that Amazon EC2 is now open to all!

It will be interesting to hear more on the solutions developed to overcome these persistent storage dependencies.

Cheers,

David, thanks for the tests. :)

I will do also some test next weeks. I have found some articles but mainly about ec2, s3 & ruby on rails.

Here are some of them:

I might give it a go.

Has anyone run ezpublish in ec2 yet? I always have it in the back of my mind as a potential overflow option when we run out of server space, but I would be curious if anyone has had luck with it yet. Specifically with ez 4.0.

Amazon EC2 is used in a lot of websites based on RoR. I have testing of ezp4 in Amazon EC2 in my TODO List.

I'm also looking how ezp4 could integrate with Enomalism (Xen and AmazonEC2)

I promise when I have made test I will send more information.

I got ezp4 running in a customized AMI today using a large instance. It is really fast, and should be a great platform for ezp.

There is a lot yet to do, but having a customized AMI is a start. I will share it after testing and cleaning it up a bit.

It is a CentOS5, PHP5.1.6, Mysql 5, apache 2.2, eaccelerator, imagemagick, etc setup.

Next up, working out where to store the persistent files, setting up the database for resilience, and making sure it survives an instance crash.

A base Ubuntu installation with eZ Publish pre-installed.

Haven't tested it yet.

Amazon just released the public beta of Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), a new web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. http://aws.amazon.com/rds

"Amazon RDS provides a fully featured MySQL database, so the code, applications, and tools that you use today with your existing MySQL databases work in Amazon RDS without modification."

Will this make it easier to run eZ Publish in the cloud?

Hi,

We are planing to test and probably move to amazon ec2. Anyway i would like to ask if someone already have done this and what is your experience with ezpublish and amazon ec2 services.

I will really appreciate if you share this information with us as this will be very useful.

Any tip and tricks and tutorials are welcome too

Best regard,

Ali.
