Check Out the Original Magento Amazon AMI Here!
I wanted to setup a magento store and compare it to a number of competitors. But, to get the thing launched, you need to customize your server. I didn’t want to modify our server because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like magento and I didn’t want to make unneeded changes to the server.
So, I decided to make a new instance on my amazon EC2 account and build a new server.
I spent a ton of time looking for an existing AMI for Magento. After I didn’t find one, I set out to build one. I built an AMI that has Magento 1.2.1.1, CentOS 5.2, PHP 5.2.9, mysql 5.1.

Good luck and let me know if you need anything.
Thanks for creating this! I’m going to give it a try. Do you plan to update it as Magento comes out with new releases?
Also curious, what kind of usage charges are you getting related to this on ec2 for just a test site?
Joe – thanks for the comment! I’m actually going to try to keep updating it. But, no matter what, I’ll always post what version I’m using. My charges aren’t much because its not getting much traffic but at their current rates, it seems to cost around $75 per month.
Hello,
I just bought the AMI but cant seem to find any instructions on where it is and how I can install it.
Please let me know if there is a way to get to it.
Thanks

Thanks for the Comment Pushkar. To share the AMI with you, I just need your AWS Account Number. Send it this way and I’ll share it with you. Thanks for purchasing the AMI!
I recently purchased an AMI. Can you share it with me?
Magento 1.3 has been released. just wondering… Do you expect to release a new version soon? Will I get a free upgrade or do I need to purchase again?
Thanks,
Daniel
