I have been planning on hosting my app on an aws linux box because I was informed that windows is not good is for commercial web apps. But I am running into what I think is a insurmountable problem with the port (mostly dealing with CORs). So I am considering a different plan. Instead of keeping my systems data on a wamp based mysql, I could keep it on a remote copy of rds. In that way I could have two small windows instances, and if one goes down, all the data is kept in a separate place, so it doesn't matter which of the two running versions of the software is being used. An occasional reboot wouldn't be a biggie.
Btw, the mysql database will not get too large since I am already offloading user data weekly to dynamodb which is an aws nonsql database.
Question? Am I over thinking this?
