Moving my LAMP to Amazon

I have a small LAMP application that I want to move to Amazon

  • I need Amazon EC2 for this, right?
  • I want my static resources to be delivered from the CDN. Does this mean that I need Amazon CloudFront with EC2? (Or is EC2 also a CDN?)
  • I would also like to use a PHP accelerator (possibly APC), memcache, etc. Will I be able to do this on Amazon?
  • Will I be able to use MySQL? (I ask about this because it seems that Amazon also has its own DBMS, not sure if I have to use them).

Yes.

I want my static resources to be delivered from the CDN. Does this mean that I need Amazon CloudFront with EC2? (Or is EC2 also a CDN?)

CloudFront is a CDN, but you can use any other CDN, as with a site hosted on your own servers. EC2 is not a CDN.

I would also like to use a PHP accelerator (possibly APC), memcache, etc. Will I be able to do this on Amazon?

Yes, you have full root access to the server. You can install any software that you would install on your server.

Will I be able to use MySQL? (I ask about this because it seems that Amazon also has its own DBMS, not sure if I have to use them)

Yes. RDS is neat, but you can always run MySQL on your EC2 server.

I think so!

Take a look at this article → http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/global-solution-providers/mysql/

It is best to open a ticket with them or call him to eliminate all your doubts. Calling is always the best way, you can ask about all your specific needs, and then ask for a contract, if it is in the contract, you are on the safe side.
