Dear Lazyweb,
I need help with EC2. I'm an EC2 beginner, and I have a one-time task that needs a lot of CPU. I can do it serially, in which case it'll cost me about $200. Or I can run it all at once on many EC2 instances, but I don't know how to do it. The task consists of a series of basic unix commands.
What's the fastest way to get sufficiently up to speed on this that I can build a linux instance ready to do the task, fork off about a thousand of these puppies, and then tell them "go?"
I'm not looking for actual programming advice; I want meta-advice. What books and/or tutorials should I read?
