So I want to compile a Haskell program locally, and then upload it to my EC2 Ubuntu 12.04 (free trial) instance.
My question is, will it work on EC2 if I compile my haskell program on an official Ubuntu 12.04 distribution (say in virtualbox)?
Or do I need exactly the same version of Ubuntu as Amazon is running? Do it have to have the exact same set of updates etc..?
P.S. If yes – where do I get the Amazon’s version of Ubuntu?
Thanks!
I do this on a regular basis, it should work just fine. Just make sure you’re using the same architecture (32- or 64-bit).
