Anyone has done any test installing ez publish on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)?

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of setting up an Amazon image (ami) to test the new php5 version of eZ (eZ 4). Unfortunately there are some challenges that has to be resolved first - primarily the lack of persistent storage. When an ami is shutdown it will loose al changes done since boot thereby reverting to its original state. To keep the changes one must rebundle the instance into a new image which is a time consuming process.

I'm planning to add persistent storage using S3 and Elasticdrive but I haven't got the setup all fixed yet. If I manage to get a running instance with a funtional persistent storage I will make it available to the comnunity as an public ami.

Cheers,

David, thanks for the tests. :)

I will do also some test next weeks. I have found some articles but mainly about ec2, s3 & ruby on rails.

Here are some of them:

Has anyone run ezpublish in ec2 yet? I always have it in the back of my mind as a potential overflow option when we run out of server space, but I would be curious if anyone has had luck with it yet. Specifically with ez 4.0.

I got ezp4 running in a customized AMI today using a large instance. It is really fast, and should be a great platform for ezp.

There is a lot yet to do, but having a customized AMI is a start. I will share it after testing and cleaning it up a bit.

It is a CentOS5, PHP5.1.6, Mysql 5, apache 2.2, eaccelerator, imagemagick, etc setup.

Next up, working out where to store the persistent files, setting up the database for resilience, and making sure it survives an instance crash.

Amazon just released the public beta of Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), a new web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. http://aws.amazon.com/rds

"Amazon RDS provides a fully featured MySQL database, so the code, applications, and tools that you use today with your existing MySQL databases work in Amazon RDS without modification."

Will this make it easier to run eZ Publish in the cloud?
