How can I add a string as a file on amazon s3.from whaterver I searched , I got to know that we can upload a file to s3.what is the best way to upload data without creating file.?

RDS uses the same set of parameters for all instance sizes and they don't seem to be that far from defaults (max_packet_size being too small etc.)
Has anyone looked at them and reviewed them for how sensible they are, especially on relatively bigger instances?
The ec2-describe-instances command is not very helpful in distinguishing the instances.
Are there command line tools that give a better overview?
Perhaps somewhat like http://github.com/newbamboo/manec2 but with support for different regions etc.
I have an EC2 instance with "instance store" device as a root device.
Now, I would like to attach an EBS volume to that same instance,
only that I want it to be the root device.
Is that possible?
What happens to the instance store device in such case?
Thanks in advance

I need to run a web crawler and I want to do it from EC2 because I want the HTTP requests to come from different IP ranges so I don't get blocked. So I thought distributing this on EC2 instances might help, but I can't find any information about what the outbound IP range will be. I don't want to go to…

I am facing some questions when trying to design an S3 application using ASP.NET MVC and trying to stay HIPAA compliant.
My initial plan was to require an SSL connection to my web server, encrypt the images on my server, then send them to s3 using my private keys.

Im confusing about where should I have a script polling an Aws Sqs inside a Rails application.
If I use a thread inside the web app probably it will use cpu cycles to listen this queue forever and then affecting performance.
And if I reserve a single heroku worker dyno it costs $34.50 per month.…

I have an AWS server with Ubuntu 11.04 as the OS that is running an Apache2 webserver (incidentally Python-based and using Django).

We started monitoring our web server using Pingdom and found out that we have a downtime of a few minutes every Sunday at 0:00 UTC.
