Nothing easier - and saves money too!

This was an awesome alternative to the first time I installed Piwik. First time around, I uploaded the whole application into an EC2 instance and used the Piwik app to create a database instance. While I didn't think that could be much easier, this was about two clicks.

Best of all, because this installs the DB and application on a single EC2 instance, I don't have to pay for a separate RDS service. As an added bonus, it also installs PHPMyAdmin for direct access to the local DB.

First time I've used a BitNami instance, but I'll be back for more!
