[MarkLogic Dev General] MarkLogic 5 available on Amazon Web Services?

[Michael Blakeley]

I'd start with the Amazon linux image. It is updated every six months or so, and has a nice balance of available packages. http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/

If for some reason it doesn't work out, the most recent 64-bit rightscale centos image is usually pretty good.
