Nick recently had some experience with this:
http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Extreme-frustration-installing-dspace-on-amazon-ec2-td4659036.html
He may be able to give you some guidance and share what his
difficulties were and how he overcame them.
Nick, could you also document this on the wiki?
I will do that. I have now installed DSpace (1.8.2) three times on ec2 Linux instances. Part of the problem, which might have been unnecessary, was that I have been installing Oracle's JDK (6_37) and using the Linux "alternatives" to use Oracle's instead of the OpenJDK implementation that Amazon puts on AWS (for licensing reasons). I haven't exhaustively researched it, but I have seen suggestions that some things (and I thought that DSpace was one of them) don't play well with OpenJDK in some circumstances.
I would be glad to answer any questions about my install process. I am going to install the 3.0 RC here in the next few days. (I'm new at this [Dspace], so my contribution to any discussion would be limited for a while.)
