I can’t praise Amazon Web Services enough. They make it so easy to create and manage instances of your server images in the cloud. Given that Procinity is in its infancy, we’re currently only using an EC2 Small Instance, along with an Elastic IP, Block Store and S3 for all static web content.
A couple great plugins for FireFox have proven invaluable:
- Elastic Fox for managing EC2 instances
- S3 Organizer for managing data in S3
They’re by no means bug free but make life much easier than working with AWS from the command line.
