Free Nginx (LEMP) AMI – CentOS, Nginx, MySQL & PHP-FPM

April 18, 2013 by , in Blog Linux

NOTE: I’ve moved all of my web sites from AWS. Also, this Free Nginx AMI is no longer supported and has been merged into Nginx’s official AMI. For most, there are better hosting options available in terms of performance & cost. Ask me about StackLinux SSD hosting.

This Amazon EC2 AMI includes the latest Amazon Linux (Centos), Nginx 1.0.15, MySQL 5.1 & PHP 5.4 (PHP-FPM) custom installed and tuned for stability and speed.
