If we have a headless test server running sikuli (both ubuntu and windows configurations needed), how to get it work without a physical monitor and preferably for as many screen resolutions as possible.

I successfully got sikuli running in headless mode (no physical monitor connected)
Ubuntu: check Xvfb.
Windows: install display driver on the machine (to be headless) from virtualbox guest additions display drivers and use TightVNC to remotely set resolution from another machine.
Detailed steps for windows 7
Assume that:
- Machine A: to be headless machine, windows 7, with vnc server ready (e.g. TightVNC server installed and waiting for connections).
- Machine B: will be used to remotely setup the virtual display driver on machine A.
steps:
- Download virtualbox guest additions iso file on Machine A from here (for latest version check latest version here and download VBoxGuestAdditions_x.y.z.iso)
- Extract iso file (possibly with winrar) into a directory (let us call it folder D)
- using command prompt cd to D folder
Driver extraction
-To extract the 32-bit drivers to "C:\Drivers", do the following:
- VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86 /extract /D=C:\Drivers
-For the 64-bit drivers:
- VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64 /extract /D=C:\Drivers
Goto device manager
add hardware
Restart and connect with VNC viewer, now you should be able to change screen resolution

For those looking to automate on ec2 windows machines, this worked for me: http://www.allianceglobalservices.com/blog/executing-automation-suite-on-disconnectedlocked-machines
In summary, I used RDC to connect, put the following code in a batch file on remote desktop, double clicked it, and sikulix started working remotely (kicking me out of RDC at the same time). Note that ec2 windows machines default to 1024x768 when tscon takes over which may be too small so TightVnc can be used to increase the resolution to 1280x1024 before running.
