Ask HN: Good Amazon EC2 tutorials for beginners?

2 points by bugsmasher ↗ HN
I'm new to Amazon EC2. Having setup an EC2 instance after following AWS' getting started guide, I'm looking for some simple tutorials to get an experience with the EC2 workflow and recommended frameworks to use in different scenarios.

Just to begin, I'm trying to code a program as follows: 1. Query few open datasets (eg. weather datasets) 2. Retrieve the data 3. Save the data on Parse.com to make it searchable

If I were you I would just become familiar with ubuntu command line commands, and supplement that with reading the official aws documentation (which has a tutorials in it).
