Setting up a Titan Cluster on Cassandra and ElasticSearch on AWS EC2 by Jenny Kim.
From the post:
This purpose of this post is to provide a walkthrough of a Titan cluster setup and highlight some key gotchas I’ve learned along the way. This walkthrough will utilize the following versions of each software package:
Versions
- Datastax Cassandra Auto-Clustering Community AMI Version 2.4
- Oracle Java 1.7 (should be automatically included in the Datastax AMI)
- Titan 0.4.1 Full Distribution
- ElasticSearch 0.90.7
The cluster in this walkthrough will utilize 2 M1.Large instances, which mirrors our current Staging cluster setup. A typical production graph cluster utilizes 4 M1.XLarge instances.
NOTE: While the Datastax Community AMI requires at minimum, M1.Large instances, the exact instance-type and cluster size should depend on your expected graph size, concurrent requests, and replication and consistency needs.

Great post!
You will be gaining experience with cloud computing along with very high end graph software (Titan).
