What are the quintessential tools and resources for hosting Rails applications on Amazon's EC2?

I'm looking for:

  • documentation
  • blogs
  • books
  • ready-to-use pre-configured slice images
  • services
  • wrappers
  • libraries
  • tutorials

...anything that would make it easier to start using EC2 to host a Rails application.

How do I deploy a Rails project in AWS?

Deploy your applicationUpload the source bundle to Elastic Beanstalk to deploy Rails to your environment. Open the Elastic Beanstalk console , and in the Regions list, select your AWS Region. In the navigation pane, choose Environments, and then choose the name of your environment from the list.

What is the difference between EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk?

EC2 is Amazon's service that allows you to create a server (AWS calls these instances) in the AWS cloud. You pay by the hour and only what you use. You can do whatever you want with this instance as well as launch n number of instances. Elastic Beanstalk is one layer of abstraction away from the EC2 layer.
