Amazon EC2/S3 Developer

We currently run several websites on a dedicated Linux/Apache/MySQL/PhP server and would like to migrate to the Amazon EC2/S3 environment in anticipation of future growth. We are looking for a Linux admin/developer familiar with the Amazon EC2/S3 Services environment ***and*** in scaling high-traffic MySQL websites. You will need to explain/recommend to us appropriate multi-server architecture options for scaling high-traffic websites (including database replication, load balancing, etc.) and methods for monitoring/fine-tuning/speeding up MySQL database performance. We will need the following: - web-based control panel that monitors all EC2/S3 activities - automatic (fail-safe) scheduled backups of all data to S3 - automatic scaling up/down of number of virtual servers based on load triggers whereby server clusters are instantaneously created and terminated - stable IP environment, applying automated DynDNS updates so site can maintain IP address in EC2. - automatic load/traffic balancing - dynamic configuration of virtual servers on boot - easily configure/launch/manage multi-server architecture (number of front-end servers, MySQL Master/Slave servers, data replication, etc.) Developers with previous EC2/S3 experience and scaling high-growth multi-server MySQL sites strongly preferred. It goes without saying that we are looking for a long-term relationship with the winning bidder. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
