Just be aware that the application generally needs substantial changes to work in a cloud.
Nothing stored on the cloud server is guaranteed to be there at any point in time, thus all storage needs to be done elsewhere, including databases etc. Regards Dale Fraser http://dale.fraser.id.au http://cfmldocs.com <http://cfmldocs.com/> http://learncf.com http://flexcf.com From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brad Fleming Sent: Wednesday, 23 March 2011 11:38 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] ColdFusion in the Cloud Hi Mark, Thanks for that. The AMI option sounds like a good plan. As for physical vs cloud, I was wondering that same thing myself. I'll have a play around and see how it goes.

One thing I will say - if you are looking to migrate a production application, make sure you do comparative load tests. In my experience (YMMV), I've found it tough to beat the performance of a physical box vs a Amazon Cloud server (even the high end ones), so be sure to know what you are getting into.

I was mainly looking for confirmation that it could be done as I couldn't seem to find much info on it (although I may not have been looking in the right places). Do you know of a link that could give me some info on the process of how it is set up? Er, you just install it on a cloud server like you'd install it on any regular server...
