It's actually a lot simpler than it sounds:
- Create a new EC2 instance (Literally click "Launch instance" and select Ubuntu.
- Login and install any dependencies (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get my list of awesome packages i need installed)
- Go back to the EC2 dashboard and click "Create AMI" which is just imaging the server.
- I can't attest to the ease of ELB and auto-scaling rules as I haven't used them, but I would assume it's fairly straight forward - and there is a ton of resources on AWS to help you out :-)
