[LRUG] EC2 as development server

[David Salgado]

Unless you're committed to EC2 specifically, I'd recommend looking at
Slicehost. I've got all my development and production servers there -
less weird than EC2 and cheaper to get started (no financial
connection to them, other than being a happy customer).

Cheers

David
