Major Control Panel not compatible with Cloud VMs
I don't know why major control panels providers are unwilling or unable to make their products compatible with Cloud virtual machines.
I would like to setup a proper multi-user hosting environment on Amazon EC2 but cPanel and Direct Admin have not been made compatible with that. Both are very close and need just some modifications from their providers to be fully compatible. There are some hacks suggested on-line but they are not viable for a production environment. They are not convenient, they break some functionalities and the control panel can be totally broken by an update.
By control panel, I mean a software that installs, manages and updates Apache, mySQL, PHP, FTP, Email, Webmail, Bind... etc from a basic Linux image. Many panels are not interesting for me because I would need to setup everything manually then only install the control panel of top of that.
If you have any ideas of suggestions...Enterprise Consultant

WHM/Cpanel runs on EC2 but is difficult to install. But I think cPanel latest version is support for EC2 AWS . Just open a support ticket for cpanel and clarify that. Sometimes they will install it for you.

cPanel works fine on VMs. Just don't use EC2. Problem solved.
