Migrating to AWS real-world how-to

Hi, we're talking about migrating our DEV, STAGE, and PROD SP Farms into AWS. They're small, two server farms each, just a WFE and a SQL server. There are some projects that will likely require the addition of an APP server for each farm, but might be able to wait until after the move to AWS.

I've been going through some of Amazon's documentation and videos, which are ambitious installations compared to our modest one. It's also safe to assume that when someone says "It's as easy as 1 2 3" there might just possibly be some difficulty when our rubber hits the road.

Can anyone recommend a step-by-step not produced by Amazon?

Thanks,

Scott
