AWS OpsWorks Supports t1.micro Instances
Amazon Web Services announced yesterday a long-awaited update to their OpsWorks product by including free tier and t1.micro instance types, something that has always keeping me away of trying OpsWorks, because smallest instance was always m1.small.
You can provision now following instance types for your web, database, haproxy, e.t.c.:

From operating systems only Amazon Linux or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS are supported. As with OpsWorks, you can launch web server stack behind HAProxy (Amazon reps say they will support Elastic Load Balancer very soon), and in addition to 24/7/365 servers you can prepare time-based servers and load-based spare servers, which will start/stop on demand, or "follow-the-sun" approach.
AWS OpsWorks is a flexible application management solution with automation tools that enables you to model and control your applications and their supporting infrastructure. If you like Chef, you feel right home with OpsWorks - you can even provide your own chef cookbooks.
