EC2
	- When starting EC2 instances, it's easy to use the Elasticfox plugin for Firefox.
	- Make sure the permissions allow RDP traffic for at least your ip address if you're
	  using a windows instance.
	- Use 0.0.0.0/0 if you want to unblock all inbound (relative to the server) traffic.
	- Get rid of Internet Explorer Security Enhancement.

S3
	- If you want to let S# serve content using your domain name, create a bucket named
	  after the domain you're planning on using. Then create that domain with a cname
	  pointing at the bucket. For example, if you want to use s3 for images.domain.com,
	  create the image.domain.com and then create a cname for image.domain.com that
	  points to images.domain.com.s3.amazonaws.com.
