It'd be very interesting to do something like this with Chef or Rubber. This would automate the entire build process.
Probably not necessary if you were to share the AMI, but if Chef itd be croas-cloud and would be a great way for the community to maintain the latest build for this. Plus it's been on my list and I just can't seem to get to it ;) On Aug 7, 2012, at 8:12 AM, Donovan Bray <[email protected]> wrote: When building images I use 64 bit large, compile times are faster; and you can now spinup a 64 bit instance in any size. So build it on a fast box, snapshot then you can bring it up on whatever instance type that makes sense for production.

You can start witha Small or Medium instance to build the AMI and then based on load etc burst them in production.

Like: Get Ubuntu, type this.. get nginx... set this.. So then a question.. why Installing Scalr says that I need: 1x m1.large for mysql 1x m1.large for app 1x c1.medium for cron jobs I mean.. whole 3 servers??? And LARGE? For now we have 2 servers (1xLive and 1xTesting).. + 1xRDS.. and that’s it. Our live Server hosts about 15-20 Zend PHP Projects.. and it is m1.medium.. with Average load for last 2 weeks about 1.7% ... with Peaks to 47-50.. (but that’s for a few minutes at a specific time). So the question is: why do I need such a big server just for scalr controller? *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Sebastian Stadil *Sent:* Tuesday, August 07, 2012 11:27 *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: PreBuilt AMI You might want to make that image publicly available so others can benefit. :-) On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 1:26 AM, Paul Rysevets <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks for the reply,..

Such AMIs would not replace any docs, since there are many use cases for installing Scalr on servers other than Amazon. Welcome to the community, Paul!

So, as a main Server Admin i'm now i charge installing it. I have 2 options(3, but that's not the point): 1) install everything from scratch manually 2) use a prebuild AMI quick googling provided no mentions about predefined Scalr Controlling AMI,.. Only some Ubunto 6.XX with scalr 0.5.. so i decided to ask here: Does anyone has any idea.. do such Ami's exist? (preferrably official) or, as an "Admin", willing to install he's own scalr, should "Know how" to do everything easily.. as a side-benefit: these AMI's would replace most of the http://wiki.scalr.net/display/docs/Open-Source+Installation -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scalr-discuss" group.
