Yes. Canonical provides official Ubuntu EC2 images for Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and 64-bit. To install BigBlueButton on EC2, do the following • Modify the default security group (or create a new security group) that opens the needed ports for BigBlueButton (see FAQ). • Launch a “lucid” image from Canonical’s list of supported AMI. • Follow the instructions to InstallationUbuntu. • Adjust the FreeSWITCH configuration (see FAQ) to work on an internal IP address. • Use sudo bbb-conf –setip hostname to instruct BigBlueButton to listen to the external DNS name for the EC2 instance (see bbb-conf) You’ll need (at a minimum) a m1.small. We recommend running BigBlueButton on a c1.medium.
