i use GAE heavilythe biggest reason to not use GAE is if you want an
app that does complex queries - you just can't do complex queries and
roll-ups on GAE. there are other freedoms that EC2 give you that if you
have the IT support to run them it might be worth it. i am wrestling with
that
I think it's much easier to justify using a normal stack vs. something very
proprietary that may not support SQL, https, domains, some python
libraries, etc and can get crazy expensive.
EC2 is good, but why would you use that when you can use GAE? What's the
advantage?

The AMI list that Amazon maintains is pretty reliable:
https://aws.amazon.com/amis?platform=Cent+OS&selection=platform
If you are still evaluating cloud providers, Rackspace is a bit more
straightforward, can be cheaper and formally supplies a CentOS 6.0 image.
Community AMI's are present for FreeBSD. Apparently at least a few are
identified as windows systems, while others are identifed as (Linux Other).
A quick search gives: http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-on-ec2/ which
identifies several different AMI's. (Also searching for FreeBSD on
community
Looks like there are a couple community AMI's for CentOS 6.2:
https://aws.amazon.com/amis/centos-6-2-base-version-1-0-32-bit-1332109399
https://aws.amazon.com/amis/centos-6-2-lamp-32-bit-apache-http-2-4-1-mysql-5-5-12-php-5-4-0-version-1-0-1332109551

wow, really, so did you actually install freebsd on your EC2 harddisk slice
because i don't see freebsd under the amazon EC2 operating systems. i do
see redhat enterprise 6, which is probably very very similar to centos 6.
and with that freebsd install, did you install and use a relational
da
I had a setup for a while with freebsd, web2py (and corresponding
dependencies). There was very little difference on setup between amazone
ec2 and the bare metal machines I previously set everything up on. Just
remember, by default no guaranteed static IP...
