Applications with Amazon EC2 and S3

To create applications with the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), you do four things. First you create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to package all your software into one image — your operating system, configuration settings, applications, and libraries. The AMI contains all the information you need to boot instances of your software.
Second, you upload this AMI for storage in the Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) service. Once in the storage, the AMI is available that you can securely access the AMI .Youíll need access to SSH client to talk to the S3.
Third, you register your AMI with Amazon EC2. You will get a unique number (ID) for it.
Fourth you use this AMI ID and the Amazon EC2 web service APIs to run, monitor, and terminate one or more instances of this AMI. We will tell you how to work with the command line tools and Java libraries later in this article. You must have Java version 5 or later installed to use the tools. You pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee.
