Blog post idea: how to set up Shiny Apps as a subdomain using Amazon AWS, etc.

There's not a lot of material available out there for picking instances, etc. that are specifically tailored to R/Shiny devs.

For now this issue can just be a dumping place for related links, other resources, steps for development, etc, that we would want to include in the final write up.

Here's the Amazon EC2 pricing for reserved instances, which can be paid upfront on a yearly basis https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/reserved-instances/pricing/

It's hard to tell from there about spec of each instance type, here's a table for comparison https://ec2instances.info/?selected=t2.medium,c5.large,t2.large,m5.large

The ramazon package:

Run your shiny App on Amazon AWS launching a function. No setup no pain, just hit that run button!

...and includes a blog post

...but doesn't say anything about instance sizes. (Although a screenshot shows t2.micro.)

This comment at the htmlwidgets repo mentions needing to upgrade from t2.micro to t2.small to be able to run a Shiny app with an rpivotable widget.
