Oracle DB on Amazon EC2 + EBS
I just installed Oracle on my Amazon Virtual EC2 Linux (Ubuntu) server. Since I am not very familiar with Oracle Database Administration, I am curious about what files and how I need to migrate to the ESB, so when I close or shut down my instance, no data is lost.
I found THIS tutorial, but I'm not sure if this is what I need.

You can start with one of the Oracle AMIs for simplicity. You can find them here:

and an overview of Oracle on EC2 is here:

Watch the demo video. As you follow along, make sure you have EBS installed on node first. When the video gets to the part where you specify the data location, use the EBS mount point.
