Just started with Amazon Web Services and want to start an EC2 instance. I need to select an Amazon Machine Image (linux distribution). I have almost no previous knowledge of Linux and don't know how to make my choice. Amazon recommend their own "Amazon Linux AMI", of course. Many tutorials on youtube prefer Ubuntu.
What are the pros and cons? Any reason not to choose Amazon Linux? How can I make my choice? Does it really matter what I actually choose?
I will run PHP and maybe later mySQL. I have an Amazon S3 bucket and planning to use my EC2 instance to get/put files to S3.
You can start with Amazon Linux (a similar centos/Redhat linux), because it has several pre-install packages
The Amazon Linux AMI is an EBS-backed, AWS-supported image. The default image includes AWS command line tools, Python, Ruby, Perl, and Java. The repositories include Docker, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other packages.
When you start using with Amazon linux, you will know if it is suitable for your application or not. For current usage (PHP + MySQL), it is no any problem to support your application.

For a long term university project involving a small team (2/5 people),
using Matlab and Java, we are trying to set up an SVN.
The problem is that the computers used in this project run different OS.
The main computer where the code should be compiled and tested in the laboratory runs Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
our supervisor, which would have admin rights uses MacOS, while the other computers would have either Windows or MacOS.
As we are not familiar with SVN, I believe it would be better chose a programme with a comprehensive GUI such as
smartSVN. The difficulty lies in finding an opensource that works across all platforms or at least Mac and Linux.
Is there any other free software, with GUI, that you'd suggest?
Thank you!
You can work with multiple SVN clients on the same remote repository. The GUI of a client is just a visual layer of the svn protocol.
You can use tortoiseSVN on Windows, smartSVN on Mac, an integrated client inside your IDE on Linux, or whatever you want.
In your case, you should have only the source code in your repository and a different configuration on the computers.

I am new to NodeJS and MongoDB. I have developed one small application using these both. I want know about the hosting of NodeJS application and MongoDB database.One sub question is can i host both database and application on Amazon web service (AWS).
Please guide me.
Thanks
Yes you can deploy your application on AWS EC2 instance. You need to first run an EC2 instance (preferably ubuntu).
Then install node.js binaries matching the version of nodejs that you are using on your local to develop your application.
Next step would be to install node package manager(npm) and Mongodb. The procedure would be same as you followed in your local machine.
Now you need to install a server. E.g. Nginx.
Lastly, clone your repository into your EC2 instance. Furthermore, you can use pm2 module for running and watching your app, so you don't need to restart the server after changes or in case of any error.
Happy deploying :)
You can host almost everything that can be hosted on AWS servers and they have ready made architecture for technologies you have mentioned.
If you are new I would suggest to go with heroku etc. to test your application because it'll take you some time to get acquainted with AWS's environment.
Best of luck.

Where do I let EMR CLI run as a recommended case? From my local Linux workstation or from a AWS Virtual Server?
Ar there (better) alternatives to EMR CLI, in case I want to programmatively access my clusters and perform Map Reduce jobs?
Usually there is no reason to run EMR Ruby CLI on AWS cluster instead of your local machine.
Currently (as I know) there is no CLI alternative for EMR Ruby CLI.
The AWS CLI doesn't support full stack of EMR API.
If you want to automate EMR usage (some repeatedly use cases for example) you can try to use AWS SDK for Java, Python and other languages.

Is there a GUI based client for Azure Blob storage that can run on Linux?
I found many client that runs on Windows and couple of web based clients but I'm looking for something like Azure Explorer.
I don't think there's a desktop based client for Linux. I would recommend trying out Zud.io (https://zud.io/). This is a browser based storage explorer and has capability to manage blobs, tables and queues.
Well there's something close, that should work with no or very little code. I'm posting this since you mentioned Java.
Apache Commons VFS is a Virtual File-System library that supports multiple backends such as FTP, SFTP, S3, etc. etc. There is also a GUI for Apache VFS called Commons VFS - UI. This GUI uses Apache VFS to access a wide range of virtual file-systems.
I wrote an Apache VFS Provider for Microsoft Azure called VFS-Azure that you can find at https://github.com/kervinpierre/vfs-azure .
There is no reason someone couldn't easily add VFS-Azure provider to the list of known providers in Commons VFS UI. I'll take a look when I have more time in my schedule but I suspect that's something that can easily be completed.
You can use http://storageexplorer.com/ it is cross platform.

From my searches online, I've found dozens of web-based MongoDB GUIs, as well as a native desktop application for MacOS, and one for Windows. But I'm having trouble finding any desktop GUIs for Linux. I'm looking for something akin to mysql-query-browser, but for MongoDB. Anybody know of anything?
(If it matters, I'm using Kubuntu 11.04)
What about UMongo (formerly JMongoBrowser)? I found it on Admin UIs page.
Personally I am using web based (PHP) Rock Mongo - acceptable.
Robomongo, Shell-centric cross-platform MongoDB management tool. Work on most linux systems, have deb and rpm packages.
If you're using (or willing to use) Eclipse, the MonjaDB plugin seems pretty nice. I prefer it over Rockmongo or UMongo on Linux.
qMongoFront is a QT based MongoDB GUI client on linux.It is totally free and opensouce.
