Amazon Web Services (EC2 + S3)
This HOWTO is basically just a collection of the steps I took when setting up my free EC2 instance and S3 data store on the Amazon Web Services platform. I'm publishing it because 1) If I ever need to rebuild my server, it's nice to have a setup guide to follow, and 2) I figured it may help someone else who ran into the same problems I did.
NB: I am NOT a server/network administrator, so the steps I list are not necessarily the easiest or best way to do things. Basically when I run into a problem I search Google for a solution, and use the first one I find that works. Feel free to contact me if you think I've done anything particularly boneheaded, and I'll update the HOWTO accordingly.
