Session Title
AWS ground zero; EC2 and S3 hands on
Abstract
So, you've got an idea! You're after funding or just bootstrapping your business, right? Then you start working on the code, recruiting the best, managing the team, aligning your own planets for that particular time ... and boom! You can't scale! Your servers are fully loaded with that code, which could be probably ugly and not optimized, but that's not the point now. You need to scale up, fast!, deliver the best for your clients and the only solution is to buy more hardware ...

Required skills: Linux knowledge, Java and Ruby installed, Firefox with ElasticFox and S3 Organizer, ssh shell
