AWS Cloud to local IBM i Experience?

All,

I'm looking for any experience or insight. We are looking at the
possibility of a deploying AWS "cloud" / hybrid applications that are able
to access database records from a IBM i DB2 database inside a corporate
network.

Again for clarity, this would be Java or PHP running on a AWS server where
the code is reading data that is on a non AWS DB2 machine inside a
corporation's network. We would want the option to present web pages to
the public as an alternative.

From the following page, it seems like they do support this with VPC?

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Introduction.html

Anyone doing this approach? How easy/hard was the setup? Any insight?

Thanks in advance, Paul
