General EC2 setup… http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/install/install_ami http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CloudConfig
Cassandra with a VPN on EC2. From memory it talks about using the VPN within EC2. http://blog.vcider.com/2011/09/running-cassandra-on-a-virtual-network-in-ec2/ Clients need a single port (9160) to talk to the cluster. Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 24/02/2012, at 3:46 AM, Philip Shon wrote: > Are there any good resources for best practices when running Cassandra within > EC2?
