-<p>We provide pre-configured JABAWS Amazon Machine Image (AMI) which you can use on <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws">Amazon EC2 cloud</a>. When to use JABAWS in the cloud? </p>\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>you need to perform large scale calculations but do not have a cluster</li>\r
- <li>your organization already uses the cloud, in that case it may be easier and more cost effective to use JABAWS on the cloud </li>\r
- <li>want to have you instance always ready </li>\r

+ <p>We provide pre-configured JABAWS Amazon Machine Image (AMI) which you can use on the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/what-is-aws">Amazon EC2 cloud</a>. Typical use cases are </p>\r
+ <ul>\r
+ <li>you need to perform large scale calculations but do not have the resources available locally </li>\r
+ <li>your organization already uses the Amazon cloud and you do not want to do any special arrangements for the JABAWS </li>\r
+ <li>you want to benefit from the Amazon automatic scaling and monitoring to make sure JABAWS is always ready </li>\r
</ul>\r
<p>If you know what to do than JABAWS AMI ID is <strong>ami-40fecd34</strong>, manifest <strong>846107356395/JABAWS2</strong> to get you started, if not read on. </p>\r

-<li>Now you can consume JABAWS web services from the public DNS address of your JABAWS server instance. To register it with Jalview, for instance, just add the new JABAWS web server. Prefix your instance public DNS address with http:// e.g. type: http://<public DNS> for the instance on the screenshot it would be http://ec2-46-137-50-196.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com. Done. Bear in mind though that your instance public DNS is likely to be different. </li>\r

-<p>If you need to run JABAWS for large organization you might want to configure load balancer and auto scaling to let JABAWS serve large number of users. Please get in contact with us if you are interested in exploring such configurations. </p>\r
