Minimum EC2 Requirements for a stable WordPress site

Having gathered advice from various sources, DigitalOcean seems to be a better fit for my needs than AWS, in that they provide a one-click WordPress install and simple pricing at reasonable rates.

At this point I don’t have enough first-hand experience to recommend DigitalOcean as a WordPress host, but if you have similar requirements they seem to be worth considering. I will follow-up here with any issues I encounter.
