This is Huge! EC2 has made provisioning hardware and OS's stupid simple but building a rock solid stack is still beyond most people.

Now you can use supported production stacks, for instance https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B0078VKDDI/ref=brs_res... is a supported Rails production stack its secure and has an SLA... This is a big deal.



As in my other comment, they are using an old version of Nginx.


My point is more general than that specific stack, the concept of one click deployment stacks which are built by Sys-Admins and have support is a big deal.


As is mine. This is a great move by Amazon, but there is a huge security risk if the community doesn't squeeze out bad practice.
