Here are 3 resources about running Elasticsearch on AWS. I recommend going through them in order:

1. Webinar (by Elastic employees) about running Elasticsearch on AWS: https://vimeo.com/elasticsearch/review/110218622/a1c28e84cc. Its a bit long (~1 hour) but I'd start here.

2. These two blog posts cover setting up the AWS environment, then installing and configuring Elasticsearch on it:

• http://pavelpolyakov.com/2014/08/13/elasticsearch-cluster-on-aws-part-1-preparing-environment/ (Part 1)
• http://pavelpolyakov.com/2014/08/14/elasticsearch-cluster-on-aws-part-2-configuring-the-elasticsearch/ (Part 2)

3. And this is a deeper technical dive into various configuration settings - primarily to do with HA and security - that might be useful when setting up Elasticsearch on AWS: http://www.slideshare.net/bobeirasa/es-on-aws-rafael-lopes-2nd-meetup-elasticsearch-brasil

Also, if you have specific questions, this might be a good place to ask: https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch
