I'd really like to use AWS for future Rails deployments.. Has anyone gotten a Rails app deployed using EC2/EBS/S3?
If you can, I highly recommend going to the AWS Start Up Tour (http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2008/08/2008-aws-start.html) It's a good place to meet people and last year Jeff Bezos and John Doerr showed up to the one in Palo Alto.
Edit: Forgot to mention - I run PostgreSQL on instance storage with log shipping and backups to S3, and a couple of MySQL DBs for Cacti and geolocation lookups. EBS will help a lot in this area, which is kind of a pain right now. Can't wait to start using it.
Can you offer any tips or suggestions for a successful rails deployment?
