Description

This site is running on an AWS EC2 Linux virtual machine. What does that mean? The short explanation is that Amazon offers the ability for developers to create virtual machines on their cloud servers. This is actually WAY more common than you might think. Many large and popular systems are using cloud based servers for all sorts of things like Analytics, storage, number crunching, stuff like that. In essences you build yourself a computer that is 100% functional, but is not actually a box on someone's desk.
