Fast and reliable

We are testing a prototype web application using Drupal 7 with a MySQL DB (Amazon RDS) joined to an internal MS SQL Server via OCDB connections.

This virtual machine is fast and secure as we had some Russians attempting some cgi exploits to no avail. Updates are available about every week.

The RDS And EC2 services are working very nicely, too bad Drupal and S3 don't play we'll together.

In the free tier category, amazon's AMI, is good, but RHEL 6 is way better. windows server is last, because it's a RAM hog!

Thanks goes to Red Hat for making this available in the free tier, for us, non-profit groups.
Kudos!
