Two of our customers have deployed PingFederate in the cloud on Amazon Web Services EC2. Here are the steps they used to deploy on AWS.

Setting up PingFederate 6.0 in AWS was a pretty simple affair, I'm using one of the public Ubuntu 32-bit instances for testing and followed the installation recipe fairly closely, just adapting it in places so that it fit with our deployment strategies. It is still a work in progress but if you are looking to implement a paid/public AMI with PingFed it should be a pretty cut and dry affair.

• Setup pingfed user
• Install JDK 1.6
• Setup JAVA_HOME path for JDK
• Unzip PingFederate 6.0

Adapt init script to point at the pingfed directory and use the pingfed account. At the moment, I have it running on the stock port but will likely change that to use 443 when we go to production as these servers will likely be standalone instances.
