Notes on setting up a node server on ec2

Setting up a Node server on EC2

Basic EC2 setup

  1. Select your region in the upper right corner of the management console. I always use N. California, since that's where I live, but Oregon is a little cheaper.
  2. Launch a Ubuntu instance. I chose a "Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS 64-bit" server using the Quick Launch wizard. If you don't already have a keypair, you'll have to create one.
  3. Optional: Immediately shut down the instance and change the instance type to "m1.medium" (or larger). This will make the setup steps much faster. You can always scale it back later. Note: When you change instance sizes, elastic IP mappings can get hosed. You may need to unassociate and reassociate them.
  4. Add an elastic IP that is mapped to the new instance.
  5. Log in to your new instance with something like: ssh -i yourkey.private ubuntu@your.elastic.ip
