Encrypting /mnt using cryptsetup on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy on Amazon EC2 - ec2ubuntu | Google Groups
Though Amazon states that the ephemeral store partitions (e.g., /mnt) are wiped after an instance is terminated, some security minded folks might want to encrypt the data on these disks anyway.
Here is a simple way to set up a level of encryption at the block device using cryptsetup/LUKS. It has been tested on the 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy base install AMI listed on http://alestic.com
RAID 0 on EC2 EBS volumes (Elastic Block Store) using mdadm - ec2ubuntu | Google Groups
Amazon EC2 currently has a limit of 1,000 GB (1 TB) for EBS volumes (Elastic Block Store). It is possible to create file systems larger than this limit using RAID 0 across multiple EBS volumes. Using RAID 0 can also improve the performance of the file system reducing total IO wait as demonstrated in a number of published EBS performance tests.
The following instructions walk through one way to set up RAID 0 across multiple EBS volumes. Note that there is a limit on the size of a file system on 32-bit instances, but 64-bit instances can get unreasonably large. This test was run with 40 EBS volumes of 1,000 GB each for a total of 40,000 GB (40 TB) in the resulting file system.
