All,
Quick FYI.
What is Virtuoso+DBpedia AMI for EC2?
An pre-installed and fully tuned edition of Virtuoso that includes a
fully configured DBpedia instance on Amazon's EC2 Cloud platform.
Benefits?
Generally, it provides a no hassles mechanism for instantiating
personal, organization, or service specific instances of DBpedia
within approximately 1.5 hours as opposed to a lengthy rebuild from
RDF source data that takes between 8 - 22 hours depending on machine
hardware configuration and host operating system resources.
From a Web Entrepreneur perspective it offers all of the generic
benefits of a Virtuoso AMI on EC2 plus the following:
1. Instant bootstrap of a dense Lookup Hub for Linked Data Web
oriented solutions
2. No exposure to any of the complexities and nuances associated with
deployment of de-referencable URIs (you have a local DBpedia replica)
3. Predictable performance and scalability due localization of query
processing (you aren't sharing the public DBpedia server with the rest
of the world)
Features:
1. DBpedia public instance functionality replica (re. RDF and (X)HTML
resource description representations & SPARQL endpoint)
2. Local URI de-referencing (so no contention with public endpoint)
and part of the Linked Data Deployment
3. Fully tuned Virtuoso instance for DBpedia data set hosting
How Do I use it?

Here are a few live examples of DBpedia resource URIs deployed and
de-referencable via one of my EC2 based personal data spaces:
