This material covers the initial set up of an entire Cloud environment at Amazon Cloud infrastructure to run any web implementation solutions. This is the quickest answer that you may find out there, so let’s stat it!

We will cover all the steps to set up an entire environment in a cloud platform, from creating an user account at Amazon Web Services to creating and customizing Virtual machines (AMI), Virtual Storage Units, Virtual backups, Elastic IP’s, etc.

For all of you that don’t understand some of the acronyms used here, let’s just to look at them before to start:

Basically, moving to the cloud it shouldn’t impact your architecture with many changes as we believe. If your platform has a well design architecture based on independent layers (UI, Logic, Data, etc), adapting to work in a Cloud environment only mean to add a new layer of virtual environments to your n-tiers environment. Moving to the Cloud only become a problem when solutions don’t have a solid and well designed architecture and basically they are pushed back at the moment to adapt to this new age of technology.
