As someone already mentioned, there are third-party tools
(PersistentFS and Scalr) for managing persistency on EC2. However,
EC2 itself will soon support general-purpose persistent storage:

It seems like they've been working on this for a while but the

mentions that this will allow you to install relational DBs that
don't go down when your instance(s) go down.
