Post #388,468 by malraux 4/11/14 12:23:58 PM Reply	I use all AWS these days So I just start with an Ubuntu LTS AMI and call it a day. I've never observed issues with the standards. I also can build my servers from scratch in 5 minutes so the distro doesn't matter so much; 30 minutes from a bare AWS account to a functioning load-balanced autoscaled website, DNS/db/centralized logging/caching included.

The AWS stuff is going to be used for capacity flux as we go forward. I actually developed a couple of custom images for AWS for us a couple of years ago, but the dev team never got around to doing more than basic setup for the other parts of that application. The ability to boot up new hosts and add them to the cluster/distributed network in minutes is quite awesome.
Post #388,483 by malraux 4/11/14 3:14:41 PM Reply	If that's the case... Use the same OS your AWS images will use. And since the main choices there are Amazon or Ubuntu, that might inform your decision. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
