What are the quintessential tools and resources for hosting Rails applications on Amazon's EC2?

Question

I'm looking for:

• documentation
• blogs
• books
• ready-to-use pre-configured slice images
• services
• wrappers
• libraries
• tutorials

...anything that would make it easier to start using EC2 to host a Rails application.

Answer 1

Check out all these links, each could teach you something different. And also Elastic Beanstalk allows Ruby on Rails on it as a runtime.

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/ruby-rails-tutorial.html 
• https://medium.com/@KerrySheldon/ec2-exercise-1-6-deploy-a-rails-app-to-an-ec2-instance-using-capistrano-3485238e4a4a 
• https://medium.com/@manishyadavv/how-to-deploy-ruby-on-rails-apps-on-aws-ec2-7ce55bb955fa 
• https://www.rubykraft.com/blogs/ruby-on-rails-application-deployment-in-aws-ec2-part-2 

 

I would suggest you use the first link using Elastic Beanstalk and Ruby on Rails runtime to go with it.
