Folks
Although I have worked on amazon ec2 before, it was with an already set up account. I am trying to find the quickest way to deploy a prototype by this weekend. I do not want to use Google App Engine since I would like to use MySQL. I am looking at EC2 and was wondering if someone can tell me what option I should go for. I was considering a shared public AMI (such as http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=1725).
I am quite comfortable with doing this on my laptop and I think it should be fairly easy to do so but wanted to see if someone tells me something here at HN that I may not think of.Thank you!
EDIT: I have a very small data (since it is just a prototype) so scalability, performance etc are not important.
