I want to build a Java web app and deploy it on EC2. It will be written in Java and will use MySQL. I was hoping to get some pointers on the actual deployment process and configuration. In particular I'm interested in the following topics:

  • machine images (diy vs ready made)
  • mysql replication and backup to S3
  • ways of deploying and redeploying the app to EC2 without interruptions
  • firewalls?
  • load balancing and auto scaling
  • cloudtools (or alternative tools)
