Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the link, I
updated the wiki page so that it is using that instead of the AWS guide.

It's the only section of the Cloud Guide that has actually been fully
fleshed out, but it does exist!  See section 2.1 of
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Cloud_Guide/index.html

Props to Garrett Holmstrom (I hope I spelled his name correctly) for
writing those instructions for the Cloud Guide.

Thanks for the feedback, I added expected results for SSH and
installation using yum.

I see what you mean but I'm a little hesitant to add those kind of
details to the test case. It might be better to have a separate wiki
page for "getting started with EC2" instructions. I'll look around to
see if there is already a page like that.

It's been a while since I first created my account, so I had forgotten
about that.

I wonder if your security group is set up to allow SSH. By default, no
traffic is allowed from outside EC2.

I'm honestly not sure how to do that, will look into whether or not
it's possible, though.

Thanks,

I would say it is good, and fairly straight forward.  The only change I
might suggest is adding "The instance is capable of installing from the
default yum repository" to expected results.  We are shipping very bare
bones instances here.  There are really 4 key requirements:

1. The system will boot
2. You can ssh into the host as ec2-user with sudo access
3. You can install packages from the yum repository
4. The system is stable in all of these tasks.

Looks good to me.. thought as a first time user of AWS, the process
of creating an account and the verification was a bit slow.

Also, when finally creating an account I've had no idea what to
actually select. I saw something about free Amazon Micro EC2
but no idea how to use it. Finally figured out that I am suppose
to use the "Classic" workflow.


Perhaps adding in a comment saying: "As setting up a first-time AWS account
can take sometimes a few hours, it is recommended that the user create this in
advance."

Also perhaps a link to do when nothing shows up. For example I just
created an ami-5f16d836 and all lights are green but I can't connect to it.
Perhaps some link to "how to get debug/bootup logs" from the instance?

Or how to add 'debug loglevel=8' to the kernel bootup? IF that is is
possible?

EC2 AMI Test Case Review Request

2012-01-09 Thread Tim Flink
Now that EC2 functionality is a release requirement, I've written up a
draft test case for EC2 AMIs. I tried to keep it straight forward
without writing a "how to use EC2" guide.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tflink/QA:Testcase_EC2_AMI_Validation_%28draft%29

I'd appreciate any suggestions or comments before moving it from a
draft page and adding it to the release validation matrices.
