Hi Gino, I'm not sure if I've understood exactly what you need, but if you think to go on AWS, you should use the Amazon RDS ( http://aws.amazon.com/rds/details/ ) to obtain a scalable instance of a DB of you choice. This DBs are fully configurable (even on runtime, but I'm not sure) and you can increase dimensions and connections when needed. You can create the servers only for hosting the apps, then connecting them to the DB (I don't know exactly how to do this, because I've never tried the JDBC on it, but it's like having a DB on another machine, Amazon give you a the db hostname, the you choose the db name, username and password for the access).
Another thing: do you need different servers cause you have different Apps? Or do you want to implement something like load balancing the request between the servers? I'm asking this because the EC2 have some features for autoscaling so, if the requests experience a huge increase the server should auto allocate resources needed, so you should use a single machine for the app, adding many instances of it. Hope this helps you! -- Daniele 2014-06-27 12:41 GMT+02:00 Gino Pacitti <[email protected]>: > Hi List > I want to move one of my clients to AmazonEC but there seems to be a whole > array of choices.. > > I need to have a machine running monitor routing instance requests to 2 or > more servers that can then read/write to a separate database server so I > was thinking of a set of 4 servers.
