Meeting Description
I've spent many years managing dedicated servers, virtual private servers, and battling shared hosting issues. I said goodbye to many of the headaches involved with those solutions when I recently decided to embrace cloud computing. An infrastructure that used to take days to build, provision, and configure can now be deployed in literally minutes on AWS and then scaled up (or down) on the fly if needed.
In this session I'll show you step-by-step how to create a Ubuntu server instance on Amazon EC2, gain access via SSH, and install your favorite flavor of ColdFusion (Adobe CF or Railo). We'll then create a MySQL database on Amazon RDS and link this datasource to ColdFusion.
Essentially, you'll learn everything necessary to start deploying your apps to AWS today!

Would have loved to come, but work it coincides with a Harvard event with Turbine that evening (which, also should be quite interesting!)
