In case you didn't know there is a Windows 2008 core edition available these days which has all the GUI stuff removed and is basically like linux in that you use powershell to control everything. Much smaller footprint and resource usage.

Works very well. But I think you are pushing things in terms of memory with LCDS and CF as well. Worth a try though. Or you could use MySQL on a separate instance, but then again MySQL is your smallest issue I think :-) The great thing is you could try it (I hope you're planning on using *nix for this as Windows will eat even more resources) and if it does not work detach the EBS volume and use a small instance. You do not have to decide up front what instance type you want, you can start with one and then upgrade/downgrade.
