Memcached session manager for session management in EC2 instances

I am new to AWS. Can anyone tell me how can I use memcached session manager with EC2 instances on which tomcat is installed for handling the session data? How can elasticache be used in this context?

You can configure your own Tomcats on EC2 instances using the following lib http://code.google.com/p/memcached-session-manager/

Elásticache is a memcache and you can configure tomcat to store and retrieve sessions to/from it.

Assuming you already have a memcached app, here's the basic steps to "Get Started with Amazon ElastiCache":

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/GettingStartedGuide/Welcome.html

In this context, the Amazon-recommended approach would be to use Elastic Beanstalk with Tomcat 7 to deploy your app, then use ElastiCache to scale session management as needed.
