Notes About Creating a New EC2 AMI
Back to parent [1]
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.
Launch an instance
Login to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2 # EC2 Management Console
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.
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
Install the pipeline software
Follow the instructions to install a Debian package debian package Run the tests to be sure everything is OK.
Create the AMI
In your browser at the EC2 Management Console do the following:
Create Image
Image Name csg-biopipe_instance
Image Description: Image for CSG Biopipe instance
Volume Size: 30GB
Take defaults otherwise
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.
Your new AMI should look pretty much like this:
AMI: Ubuntu Cloud Guest AMI ID ami-3d4ff254 (x86_64)
Name: Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS
Description: Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS with support available from Canonical (http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/services).
Number of Instances: 1
Availability Zone: No Preference
Instance Type: Micro (t1.micro)
Instance Class: On Demand Edit Instance Details
EBS-Optimized: No
Monitoring: Disabled Termination Protection: Disabled
Tenancy: Default
Kernel ID: Use Default Shutdown Behavior: Stop
RAM Disk ID: Use Default
Network Interfaces:
Secondary IP Addresses:
User Data:
IAM Role: Edit Advanced Details
Key Pair Name: CSG Edit Key Pair
Security Group(s): sg-a098e9c8 Edit Firewall
Test the new AMI
Launch a new AMI instance and check that files are in the correct places. In the EC2 Management Console do:
Launch an AMI
EC2 DashBoard -> AMIs -> Select CSG instance -> Launch Instance
Launch Instances (take defaults)
Advanced Instance Options (take defaults)
Storage Device Configuration -> Edit
Change volume to 30G or whatever -> Continue
Instance Details
Key Name = test of instance
Create Key/Pair if you need to, Name the PEM (e.g. CSG) and save the CSG.pem file
Choose a Security Group (take dfeault)
sg-a098e9c8 - quick-start-1
Review -> Launch
