Best AWS re:Invent Session

I recently came across a post about James Hamilton, the star AWS employee who keeps the internet alive while living on a boat, and I thought I would write a blurb about his sage wisdom bestowed upon me during the best session I attended at the AWS re:Invent conference.

OpenVPN Configuration for VPC on Ubuntu 12.04

One of my more popular posts so far has been OpenVPN with Amazon VPC. I'm guessing that the lack of a step by step process or, at the very least, the configuration files, has left you annoyed. In this post, I'll give step by step instructions and configuration files to you, so that you can have all the goodness that is a private VPN on VPC.

While the servers that I ran this on are Ubuntu 12.04, it wouldn't surprise me if the configuration and setup worked on various versions of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and more.
