I’ve been playing around in the Clouds again, this time I’ve been giving the Amazon EC2 Railo instance a run.
Following a great tutorial on getting an EC2 instance up and running, I had a publicly accessible website and the developer version of Railo running in about 20 minutes.
After tweeting about my instance, I returned to the website overnight to find my developer version of Railo had outgrown its maximum 10 ip limit.
The initial experience in getting Railo up and running in the cloud was a good one. As I struggled to upgrade my developer version of Railo to the community edition and contacting Railo support, I realised it wasn’t going to be that easy.
I’ve decided to install Railo locally and investigate it a bit more in the comfort of my hard drive. I’ll stick to experimenting in the Stax cloud at the moment, which I’ve found to be a more streamlined process.
