Amazon EC2 (cloud services), how to manage sites?
Question about cloud services in amazon. If I choose a server there to run sites on it (I need PHP, MySQL), how can I manage them? After all, after the purchase there will be bare Linux? For example, if you buy VDS / VPS, there is a control panel for domains, users, and so on (ISP Manager, for example, or CPanel). Will there be anything like this after buying Amazon EC2? How to add your domains, how to manage MySQL? Apache / Nginx will not stand there either, and you need to install all this yourself through the console? Or are there some simpler ways for me, not a system administrator, to get cloud servers in Amazon that automatically change the configuration under load to run sites on them, with convenient control through the panel?
And another related question here - I don’t know in advance what kind of load my sites will create, and how much power I need, for example, for Magento to work quickly (which on my usual dedicated server for $ 100 / month shamelessly slows down even with a cache). How to make sure that at a high load I do not receive a bill for thousands of dollars from Amazon at the end of the month? Is it possible to somehow limit the maximum price (server capacity) per month so as not to get paid in case of DDOS, etc.?

If your site slows down even on a dedicated server for $ 100 / month and you are out of your depth when setting up Linux servers, then you don’t need to move to the cloud, but hire an admin who would pick you up a regular server that suits your hardware requirements and most importantly, set it up correctly. After all this, it may turn out that a server for $ 100 is enough for you with a double margin. At the same time, it may be worth hiring a programmer to go through magenta modules, it is quite possible that one of them generates a huge load on the database due to crooked queries.
Well, if the first option is too complicated, then there is such a thing as cloud hosting , which promises a regular hosting interface on the one hand and scalability and payment only for consumed resources on the other. Haven't tried it myself.
you need cloud add-ons like appfog.com or heroku.com
"what are the traffic limits in EC2?" no, how much money there is will gobble up everything =)
Firstly, Amazon does not know how to increase resources itself, you must do it yourself manually if you have one instance, or you can scale your application to many instances and use an elastic load balancer, there is no traffic limit in Amazon, it is simply paid, pay for each gigabyte . Put the directadmin control panel there it works for sure.
If you have a site on Dedicated for $100 that “godlessly” slows down, I would not recommend moving to AWS with it - you will almost certainly pay many times more.
Better invest this hundred in a competent admin who will set up your current server.
Please clarify - do you have a dedicated server, or VDS? The first post has one option, the comments have another.
Amazon is not hosting in the sense you mean. That is, they provide virtual machines, but there is no panel. It's just that hosting companies create such templates so that there are payments and panels. Amazon doesn't need it. But, as mentioned above, you can easily install the control panel. Get the right one, and you can install it on the car.
