'''Notes About Creating a New EC2 AMI'''
'''Notes About Creating a New EC2 AMI'''
Back to parent [http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Pipelines]
The following are notes taken when creating the Amazon Machine Instance used for the CSG pipeline process.
These notes assume you have already created an EC2 account and have the certificates and keys set up properly.
<code>
Login to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2
</code>
Pay attention to the region you are using, at least for now it seems any StarCluster activity must be in '''us-east-1'''.
Launch a new instance which we will use to set up the software and ultimately save it as an AMI.
Launch
<code>
EC2 DashBoard -> Launch Instance
Class Wizard
Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit
Instance type -> Micro, EC2, no preference # Memory size does not matter
Advanced Instance Options (take defaults)
Storage Device Configuration -> Edit
Change volume to 30G -> Save -> Continue # Storage size does not matter
Key Name = CSG 8G biopipe; ubuntu 12.04
Create Key/Pair if you need to, Name the PEM and save the pem file for access by ssh
Choose a Security Group (take default)
Launch
No need to Create Status Check Alarms
No need to Create EBS Volumes
</code>
