Rails 3 Server on EC2

I'm trying to setup a production server for a rails 3 app on a single amazon ec2 instance, and am wondering what route to take.

I'm quite new to deploying rails apps - is there a pre-existing ami I can use for rails3?

Any tips/wisdom/advice appreciated - thanks!

I'd like to suggest to use verified EC2 AMIs, for instance by Rightscale. You can not use the Rightscale as a service, but theirs AMIs are pretty stable and reliable.

UPDATE: I advice to use Amazon Linux Machine based on CentOS 6

Ubuntu has a nice guide on EC2 and Ubuntu images. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide

Also see http://alestic.com/ I just set up one of these images on my EC2 free usage tier with no issues.

In terms of reasonably priced EC2 management services check out scalr.com.

As for gems that makes it easier to deploy Rails to EC2 have a look at Poolparty and Rubber.
