[Freeswitch-users] running FS in the Amazon cloud / other scalability options

[Brian B]

Our FS app will be under near-zero load much of the time, and then spike
with our large (highly customized) conference call applications.

So, we'd like to investigate running it in an easily scalable environment, a
la the Amazon cloud.

Three questions
1) Are the current images available here *current*, can someone tell from
the version numbers?  I looked for version history on the wiki but couldn't
find it.
The amazon command line command: ec2-describe-images -x all -v |grep
freeswitch
yields the following three (repeated in the verbose mode)

<imageLocation>rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11952.img.manifest.xml</imageLocation>

<imageLocation>freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178/image.manifest.xml</imageLocation>

<imageLocation>rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11963.img.manifest.xml</imageLocation>
IMAGE    ami-999672f0
freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178/image.manifest.xml    811137716590
available    public        x86_64    machine
IMAGE    ami-1be30672
rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11952.img.manifest.xml
099034111737    available    public        i386    machine

099034111737    available    public        i386    machine

2) If not, does anyone want to help set up a current Amazon image?  I'll
provide the Amazon account if you can install FS in it.

3)  Does anyone have other recommendations for services that can burst to
high usage, without paying for high usage 24x7?  I don't see VPS providers
that can burst to much RAM/CPU for the few hours/month we'll need it.

Thanks!
