AWS and Amazon Elastic Cloud could be the best playground for erlang projects. I’m going to experiment with using EC2 to build a variety of erlang ‘Hello World’ projects.

Goals

Virtual Machines

Figure out how to build AWS Amazon Linux (free tier) images the same way vagrant does images with Virtualbox.

Networking

Figure out how to get various EC2 images to talk to each other securely (using AWS VPC).
