I really have no idea about costs. I need to figure this out as part of a budgeting exercise, and compare against Linode
Linode are priced differently. EC2 is based on usage, where as Linonde is more or less a fixed cost per month. I have DHIS2 running on both at the moment, in order to compare the differences between the two in terms of performance and costs. I guess the obvious advantage is scalability. I am using the Amazon RDS as a backend, so I guess that scaling the front-end and backend is going to be possible. It is pretty simple to scale Linode as well, and the pricing is a lot more transparent, but I am not sure in terms of how it will perform or scale when compared to EC2. I think an EC2 micro instance is for the most part free, so it is easy to get started experimenting. This is what i chose for this image. You can also install MySQL/Postgres on the instance and not use the RDS backend. The RDS service costs, but it seems to be very unclear how much it costs. Perhaps after a month's usage or so, I would be able to provide more details. Another issue is how to scale this app. Multiple small instances which are load balanced against each other, or bigger instances? I have essentially no experience with this stuff ,so it would be good to get others feedback. Let me clean the AMI up a bit and i can provide details.
