EC2 Kentico Deployment

I'm trying to determine what an ideal setup would be for a large website on Amazon's platform for Kentico. I'm not seeing a lot of documentation regarding a medium - large size website deployment using Ec2. I'm trying to determine what a baseline would be for the server configuration. Would an Amazon Microinstance work? Should I buy an instance for the live site, staging site and developer site additionally would I just get away with one SQL Server to support this. We will have about 30 users working in the system at least 10 simutaneous users at anyone time . We also have 3 .NET developers who will be developing in the system. I'm trying to understand the infrastructure implications for the system. Can anyone advise?

RE:EC2 Kentico Deployment

Hello,

some of our customers use Amazon EC2 but we do not have any special instructions for that. Some information is here: Cloud Computing. You can use a web farm module for the clouds: Web farm support. For Amazon S3 we have a special support for files: Amazon S3 provider for the CMS IO namespace.

Basic requirements are here: System requirements. I am not aware of some special requirements for Amazon.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova

RE:EC2 Kentico Deployment

We've just launched a beta of Appveyor - a tool integrated into Visual Studio for deploying .NET apps to your Amazon cloud.

We designed Appveyor with real-world apps in mind like Kentico CMS. I think for Kentico you would be good to go with "Small" instance for website and another "Small" instance for SQL Server. With Appveyor you could put live, staging and developer websites onto one AWS instance or have separate instance for each of them that use shared SQL Server instance.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
