Java EE 6 on Amazon

> 2 New AMIs based on Hardened OpenSolaris– Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0 (not released)

– Apache HTTP Server + mod_jk (not released)

– Pre-existing MySQL Database 5.1 AMI

> Instances managed by SMF– GlassFish: svcadm restart/enable/disable

svc:/application/GlassFish/domain1:default

– MySQL SMF: svcadm enable mysql

– mod_jk: svcadm restart/refresh/enable/disable svc:/network/http:apache22
