关于Amazon AWS EC2

Question

I am new to deploy a rails3.1 app to the AWS platform(heroku only previously).

However, I want to take the advantage of EC2 + S3 free-tier micro instance.

I've heard that there's something called AMI and some other things like Capistrano etc.

Can anyone explain the whole concept of AWS cloud computing?

How can I upload files to EC2? Via the terminal?

Eg I am using ubuntu 11.10, Can I just type "rails s" in the terminal and then Ec2 just going running in production mode?

Thanks.

Amazon ec2只是另一项服务，就像您可以从某些托管服务提供商处获得的专用服务器一样，AMI代表Amazon Machine Images，它基本上是一种预配置的操作系统，一旦您使用，它就可以是任何Linux发行版甚至是Windows。确定在AMI上，您将获得一个可用于连接到服务器的SSH帐户，可以使用命令行连接或可以使用ssh进行连接的任何数量的程序，例如，我在Mac上使用zend studio，这就是我的方式编辑服务器上的文件，但我也使用带有rsync命令的命令行将所有文件从服务器备份到笔记本电脑。
