Lots of great material out there dealing with Amazon Web Services, let’s spread some link love.

• Presentation: Building Custom Linux Images for Amazon EC2

• Boot EC2 Instances from EBS

• The EC2 Instance Life Cycle

• EBS Snapshots of a MySQL Slave Database on EC2

• EC2/EBS single and RAID volumes IO benchmark

• Dissection of EC2 / EBS volume

And, if the cloud feels like something ungraspable to you, have a look at some Polaroids of clouds, maybe that helps.
