On Thursday Jan 17 2013, AWS is having a webinar on scalable database architectures - http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2013/01/webinar-scalable-database-architectures.html
This group of "bearded geeks" - http://cloudcomputing.blognhanh.com/2012/11/aws-in-action-behind-scenes-of_20.html - used various database technologies on AWS to win a presidential election with a combination of "get it done" architecture and great developer/operations management. It's sure to be a great webinar.
If you can't make the live presentation, it should be available on AWS.
Other great resources from AWS you can leverage as you think about building out your SAP HANA environment include:

Also, check out the keynote video from AWS re:Invent starting at 1:21:55 into the video - the very end :-) as a teaser for today's webinar.
