title: Memcached on EC2
body: <p>Am I right in thinking that until I am able to afford dedicated servers or have any spare servers, I could successfully run a small number of memcached servers through EC2?</p>
  
  <p>With the annoucement of the new auto-scaling and load balancing by Amazon today, do you guys think this would be a viable option?</p>
  
  <p>And what would be the basic technical steps you'd recommend me taking?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I have one dedicated server and no memcached servers. I want to use the power of EC2 to setup a few instances and run such memcached servers. That's my current setup.</p>
