Run Java EE app on EC2

Question

Can anyone point me to the steps/resources that describe:

How to deploy a Java EE app on amazon-EC2

Maintain changes to the meta-data of the app server (deploy new applications) after an instance reboot (probably using amazon-ebs)

Answer 1

Try the following steps:

1. Start an EC2 instance

2. Install any Java EE application server such as tomcat, glassfish or any other.

3. Install your application into the application server

After the above steps are done, you can now create an AMI of this instance or you can also create a user script which will apply these changes when your instance starts.
