We have just released a new Amazon AMI (m1.small) running Nginx, Varnish, PHP 5.2.11 (with eAccelerator and the PHP-FPM patch) and Mysql. The image is called widetail-ubuntu9.10 (ami-05a18a71) and is located in the EU West region.
The image is running ubuntu 9.10 karmic and was based in ami-2fc2e95b from canonical. It’s perfect to run Magento or any other type of web application that needs a good performance.
All the software is running with the default configurations. Great improvements can be archieved with some tweaks in the base configuration. In case you are running Magento, check out the paper “Methods and Best Practices for High Performance eCommerce“.
To login ssh to instance with user ubuntu and if you need to run any command as superuser use sudo.
In case you want to test performance, we are running a Magento 1.4 Demo Store in one of this instances.
If you have any questions or comments, leave it on the comments and we will try to help you.

There has been quite a lot of interest in our Amazon Image for Magento and I would like to share some more information about how to backup your EC2 image in a S3 bucket.

For a small ec2 instance is around 50$ a month if you don’t have a lot of traffic, not really that much

I am trying to use Amazon EC2, I tried to use your public AMI but I failed in installing magento. It seems nginx is not handling htaccess or server redirects. Btw thanks a lot for your post. Your information on this would really help a lot.
Thanks

Vivekananthan, Nginx cannot handle Apache htaccess. You need to convert you’re own rules. Post what you need to have converted to Nginx and we can give you hand.

Tiago, did you remove the AMI? I can’t find it anywhere in any AMI list (including Europe) whether I search for ‘widetail’ or ‘05a18a71′ – help?
Thanks.

To make Magento and Varnish work out of the box, please have a look at our PageCache powered by Varnish module http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Phoenix/extension/6322/varnish_cache

The recent AWS AMI has a package PHP-FPM, which is installable via yum. With PHP-FPM, you don’t need to write the script to load fastcgi. I wrote a blog about how to configure PHP-FPM here:
