Hi Mark,

Thanks for that. The AMI option sounds like a good plan. As for physical vs cloud, I was wondering that same thing myself. I'll have a play around and see how it goes.

Cheers,

Amazon is pretty cheap to get up and running and have a play - so I'd say get in there and get your hands dirty :)

Pick a Amazon AMI, which is a virtual image (Amazon has it's own Linux flavour too) of the whole OS already installed, and you can log in and do whatever needs doing very easily.

One thing I will say - if you are looking to migrate a production application, make sure you do comparative load tests. In my experience (YMMV), I've found it tough to beat the performance of a physical box vs a Amazon Cloud server (even the high end ones), so be sure to know what you are getting into.

    Oh ok, great, I didn't think it would be that simple for a virtual
    server :-)

    Thanks for the advice.

    done as I couldn't seem to find much info on it (although I may not have
    been looking in the right places).  Do you know of a link that could give me
    some info on the process of how it is set up?
    Er, you just install it on a cloud server like you'd install it on any
    regular server... Not sure what information you're after?
