Recently I have switched my hosting from bluehost to amazon ec2. I need to know, how my application would be able to send the emails from amazon ec2? Do I need to install any smtp server on my instance or I have to configure amazon SES? Please help.
thanks in advance.
Noone gets to send email directly out of EC2 without signing up to SES and working within its constraints. Good grief, AWS would just be one enormous and thoroughly blackholed spam factory without SES in place.
Might also be worth looking at whether AWS's SNS might be a better solution for whatever you're trying to do.
Update: it is possible to send email directly from AWS, but you'll want to let AWS know by filling in a form so that they can whitelist the IP.
Update: More up to date treatment of this topic in this question.

I want to set up a Cloud Formation in aws to attach a Rate Based Rule to my LB. I have been reading the AWS documentation for hours, and I know how to create a regular WAF Rule in Cloud Formation and attach them to my LB in Cloud Formation. The problem is I cant find how to create a Rule of type Rate-Based of WAF in CF, there is not RateBasedRule object in Cloud Formation. Does anyone knows how to get around this?
After talking to aws support itself: This feature is not yet supported by aws as of today.

I have an AWS EC2 instance that I would like to have various relevent people stop and start. In a perfect world I would like a really simple way for a select handful of people to stop and start an EC2 instance without giving them too many permissions. If I could make it so they just click 1 button to do it, that would be perfect.
Starting/Stopping an Amazon EC2 instance can be done via the:
AWS Management Console
AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI)
AWS SDK for many popular programming languages
The important thing to realize is that users do not have do issue the stop/start command themselves! They can use an in-between system that makes the call for them.
For example, if you have internal intranet, you could configure some code to start/stop instances when a user requests it via the website. The website would then issue the command to AWS (via the CLI or SDK), without the users themselves requiring any special access credentials (they just need access to your internal website).
This is similar to your "just click 1 button" idea, with the button being on your intranet.

Hi I have some data(videos, images) saved in my bucket in aws. I want that data to be transferred to some other hosting service https://www.microhost.com. Any advice is helpful.
you could just run it as you'll do from your local env.
Install the AWS CLI tools and setup with your account
run aws s3 sync s3://<yourbucket> . from your new host
The easiest way is to connect with a client to S3, download the files to your computer, and upload them using FTP to your new hosting provider.
There are many S3 and FTP clients. Cyberduck is a free one that does both and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Ive been delving into the world of AWS and, with very little server management experience under my belt, I'm quickly getting lost!
I'm looking at creating a system that uses Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, EC2, RDS, S3 (possibly with CloudFront as well) so I can host a user generated content website that also streams video.
So Ive been looking at the following books:
Host Your Web Site On The Cloud: Amazon Web Services Made Easy
Programming Amazon Web Services: S3, EC2, SQS, FPS, and SimpleDB
Programming Amazon EC2: Run Applications on Amazon's Infrastructure with EC2, S3, SQS, SimpleDB, and Other Services
If I had to go for one of these what would you recommend?
Most importantly are there any resources you can recommend for a newbie like myself to quickly learn and understand the nuances to AWS?
TIA
Although all of those resources are good, the best way to dive into using AWS is in my experience CloudFormation. With CloudFormation you are able to script most if not all of your AWS resources in a single json script. By writing your cloudformation scripts and looking through the documentation and sample scripts, you will start to get aquatinted with how all of the AWS toolsets work.
Most importantly are there any resources you can reconmend for a
newbie like myself to quickly learn and understand the nuances to AWS?
As mentioned above, CloudFormation
However to make sure I answer your question:
If I had to go for one of these what would you recommend?
I have read all 3 resources listed and I found Programming EC2 to be the most useful in understanding the AWS toolset

There are two major offering of cloud computing environment by Amazon through AWS and by Rackspace through Rackspace cloud. I wanted to know more about What are cons/pros of one platform over other. That will help me in deciding platform for my future applications.
Please see some of these links to better analyze & understand the difference between Amazon Cloud Server with Rackspace Cloud.
Things come into my mind:
Amazon server stack has CHOICES possibly everything, but Rackspace server stack is fixed.
Control everything on your server stack with Amazon but Rackspace - NOPE.
You can play around with various services (EBS, EIP, S3, etc) in Amazon server to suite your price, you can't with Rackspace, since you are priced for the whole stack.
In Amazon - single EBS AMI, you can have many different instance types of machine.
