BitNami Drupal Stack

This is an application stack that makes it easy to use the Drupal content management system.

BitNami Drupal Stack is able to simplify Drupal deployment and its required dependencies. This stack can be deployed in several forms. These include the native installer, on a virtual machine and in the cloud or as a module over an already installed infrastructure stack. BitNami virtual machine images contain a minimal Linux operating system. They also have fully configured BitNami application stack. You will need a hypervisor such as VMWare or VirtualBox to get the virtual images running. BitNami Cloud Images adds the stacks to a cloud environment. Applications on a pay-as-you-go basis can be utilized by starting and stopping the stacks through program. Amazon EC2 cloud support is available now. In addition to providing free, ready to deploy Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) the publishers provide a subscription based cloud hosting platform that simplifies the process of deploying and managing open source applications to the Amazon EC2 Cloud.
