Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Gabe, ec2-bundle-vol works by packaging up the file system of the running instance into an image, which will be stored in one of the excluded directories (usually /tmp or /mnt) where as ec2-bundle-image works with existing images. Hope that helps, Ivan On 10/12/2010, at 8:19 AM, Gabe Hollombe

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Thanks, Ivan. I'm still wondering about my question, though. Does anyone know exactly how ec2-bundle-vol works with a filesystem dump vs disk image? -g On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 10:15 AM, Ivan Vanderbyl wrote: > Forget what I said earlier, there is now a Ubuntu 10.10 AMI for micro > instances - t

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Forget what I said earlier, there is now a Ubuntu 10.10 AMI for micro instances - the daily build. http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/maverick/current/ Try AMI 06d4226f for example. Ivan On 08/12/2010, at 9:57 AM, Clifford Heath wrote: > On 08/12/2010, at 9:50 AM, Gabe Hollombe wrote: >> The docs f

The docs for ec2-bundle-vol say: "Create a bundled AMI by taking a snapshot of the local machine's root file system, compressing, encrypting and signing the snapshot." Does that mean that if I have a current ec2 instance running on a mounted ebs volume that's 14 gigs big, but I'm only using 4 gigs

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

There isn't an official one yet, but you could use the ec2-bundle-vol to make one, just set the size to something that will fit a micro instance. -Ivan On 08/12/2010, at 9:02 AM, Gabe Hollombe wrote: > Hmm. Has anyone noticed if they've got an adjusted Ubuntu 10 LTS > image that fits on the 'f

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Hmm. Has anyone noticed if they've got an adjusted Ubuntu 10 LTS image that fits on the 'free' Micro instance disk space yet? -g On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Ivan Vanderbyl wrote: > Hi Chris, > I'm using the latest Ubuntu 10.10 images > from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/r

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

I wrote up a post about UEC earlier this year. http://blog.failmode.com/ I’m now using the same API to manage my own virtual servers in the failmode lab. A couple of years ago a research project called Eucalyptus set about trying to re-implement the EC2/S3 APIs. The pr

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Same here - the official Ubuntu ones are pretty good. I must admit I haven't used any of their UEC "cloud" add-ons though; the doco seemed rather opaque, and I couldn't easily work out what they add over what you get out of the box. Anyone here who *is* using their stuff? Someone want to give a 5

Re: [rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

Hi Chris, I'm using the latest Ubuntu 10.10 images from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/release/ Seems to be setup quite nicely and haven't had any issues. Ivan On 29/11/2010, at 10:54 AM, Chris Lloyd wrote: > I've been slow to catch onto this whole "cloud" thing and it seems >

[rails-oceania] Current Amazon AMIs of choice

I've been slow to catch onto this whole "cloud" thing and it seems like every man and his dog has their own virtual images. There were 6077 EC2 community images at last count! For those who use EC2 (or an AMI compatible cloud provider) which ones do you use? -- You received this message because y
