I am trying to install on AMazon AWS a sharepoint farm for dev purposes which I can shutdown when not needed for saving costs.

I have susccesfully created a VPC and a DC, I also launched a new instance, but I cant join the new server to the domain, it just doensnt work and all this networking stuff its confusing.

I got this resource:
<http://sharepoint-tutorial.net/page/install-sharepoint-2013-powershell.aspx>

Where they explain that its not recommended, but why? what would fail? what cant work if on the same server as the DC?

I already trying this in the past, and UPS never started but I am not sure if that is the reason or not.
