Is this the right way to get persistent storage in EC2? FuseOverAmazon FUSE filesystem backed by Amazon S3
Overview s3fs is a fuse filesystem that allows you to mount an Amazon S3 bucket as a local filesystem. It stores files "natively" in S3 (i.e., you can use other programs to access the same files). Maximum file size=5G. Its quite useful and stable, e.g., can be used to easily copy daily backup tarballs to s3. To use it: 1. get an amazon s3 account!
2. download the source, compile it (I've used fc5/ppc and f7/i386) and slap the binary in, say, /usr/bin/s3fs
3. do this: /usr/bin/s3fs mybucket -o accessKeyId=aaa -o secretAccessKey=bbb /mnt That's it! the contents of your amazon bucket "mybucket" should now be accessible read/write in /mnt

Using S3 for persistent storage is what Amazon recommends. I'm not sure if you'd want to run a database instance on a volume provided this tool though.. That would probably be slow as balls.. What they recommend doing is backing up to S3, but running locally. In the case of databases, by saving the checkpoint files to S3. |

I imagined this was just a simple way to push updates to EC2? |
