I wonder if there are any Amazon AWS Instance Loadbalancer GUI tools?
Other than ylastic.
If you are the sole owner of the AWS account you should be able to access elastic load balancer tab, else contact your system admin. If your IE please switch to Mozilla or chrome for better internet experience

I am using an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows.
How can I share a file to external users that are not in the same network but they have internet access? If there is an option by doing it programmatically, it will be very useful.
Thank you.
Your situation is not specific to Amazon EC2. The answer would be applicable to any Windows computer on the Internet.
The easiest way for a computer to "share a file to external users" would be via a web server. Users could simply click a link in the web browser and the file would download.
However, since you are running on AWS, you might want to take advantage of Amazon S3, which is a an object storage service. You could upload the file from the Windows computer to Amazon S3 and then make the file publicly available via a URL. This way, your users will be able to access the file without having to connect to the Windows computer. It would also be more reliable and could handle more traffic than the Windows computer. You can programmatically upload to an Amazon S3 bucket.
I am testing the free services from Amazon EC2. I followed the manual and was able to access the server. After one minute inside the server, it crashes and I have to close my console and reboot the instance.
By reading the guides from Amazon, I found that I should set the Route Table, which I was not able to find. Maybe the dashboard has changed.
As the title says i'd like to deploy from VS2010 AWS toolkit or Jenkins (preferably) an ssl cert to the website running on AWS Win2008/IIS7. Either as a redeployment or new deployment.
I've looked around and there's nothing on this, why? Appears to be possible with ElasticBeanstalk but that's not what i'm running at this stage.
Is it impossible and i'm silly for not knowing that?
If so what options do i have? I'm new to AWS so open to all suggestions!
There is no way to deploy a cert to an EC2 instance from VS2010. I don't believe IIS provides a command line utility to import a certificate, so it would be tough for the AWS toolkit to bootstrap that for you. If you ever get into Cloud Formation, you may find a way to do it with cfn-init and PowerShell. Importing a cert to a Windows instace on bootup and creating an https binding that uses that cert is not something that's going to be quick to set up.
With Elastic Beanstalk, you don't have to deploy your certificate to your instances, you just have to import it to IAM, and then specify the imported certificate when you start beanstalk. Your instance can communicate with Beanstalk's load balancer via http port 80, or you can use a self signed cert on your instance to secure communication between the instances and the load balancer.
Can an Amazon EC2 instance process requests from and return results to an external client which may a browser or non-browser application? (I know that the EC2 instance will require a IP address and must be able to create a socket and bind to a port in order to do this.)
I'm considering an Amazon EC2 instance because the server application is not written in PHP, Ruby or any other language that conventional web hosting services support by default.
Sure it will. Just setup the security group the right way to allow your clients to connect.
Take a look at this guide: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Security Groups
Also keep in mind: It's not possible to change the policy group after you created the EC2 instance. This feature is available for VPC instances only. See http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#S2 for more information.
I have a free Amazon EC2 instance. And I installed Apache web server on it. I have the DNS record for my domain point to the ip for the EC2 instance. I can not access to my website. Then I looked up and allow the http inbound. But I still failed to access my web? What might be the reason. Anybody gives me a clue?
Go to the AWS management console and look at the Security Group the instance is in. Then make sure you have the port open that you are trying to connect to (most likely 80). To open it to the world set the ip range to 0.0.0.0/0 and to open it to a specific ip (like only your house) set it to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32.
That is almost always the reason people have problems connecting when they are new to AWS. I wrote this post, which should help get you setup.
