=== Set Up Swap Space ===
Issue the command '''swapon -s''' to see if there is swap space.
If there is only a header line, you need to add a swap file like this:
<code>
# Select the running instance
df -h # Be sure there's enough space, decide on swap size
# Right click, <code>Create Image</code>
# Create a file /swap to use (assuming / is large enough)
# Enter name & Description
sudo bash # Run these commands as root
swap=/swap
# Mark delete on terminate
dd if=/dev/zero of=$swap bs=524288 count=16384 # 8GB swap on t1.micro 15G=bs=1073741824 count=15
chown root:root $swap
mkswap $swap
#:When it is done, you'll see a new AMI under the list of AMIs.
chmod 0600 $swap
swapon $swap
echo "$swap none swap sw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
swapon -s # Should show the swap device
</code>
=== Create the AMI ===
# Go to : [[#Create the AMI|Create the AMI]]
#* Specify <code>-j #</code> based on the number of CPUs your instance has
#* Specify <code>-j #</code> based on the number of CPUs your instance has
# <code>cd</code>
# <code>cd</code>
# Go to : [[#Create the AMI|Create the AMI]]
== Create the AMI ==
Once your instance is all ready with everything you want, create the AMI.
In your browser at the EC2 Management Console do the following:
# Select the running instance
# Right click, <code>Create Image</code>
# Enter name & Description
# Ensure volume size is correct
# Mark delete on terminate
#:This will take several minutes to complete.
#:In the EC2 Dashboard, you can monitor the progress.
#:When it is done, you'll see a new AMI under the list of AMIs.
# When completed, terminate your old instance
