You may run the pipeline software on a single instance we have created for you in AWS.

GotCloud is made available in various forms. In Amazon Web Services the software

You may also create your own AWS instance and run it there.

You may also, of course, install and run the software on your own hardware.

This is simple a copy of a data volume we have created that has our software

and, additionally, some reference files you will find useful.

You simply need to create your own EBS volume from our snapshot, mount your

new volume and you are ready.

 

If this does not work or is unacceptable for some reason, you may install the  

software and reference files wherever you'd like

You'll need to know some details when launching an instance:

* '''What Instance''' to launch. You have several choices

* '''Launch an Instance''' to launch. Any instance running 64 bit software and

** ami-be59d78e which is an instance we have prepared based on ''Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS''. It has all of our software installed.

either an Ubuntu of any version or Redhat/CentOS 6.3 distribution will work.

** Some other instance. The instance must run 64 bit software and is either Ubuntu of any version or Redhat/CentOS 6.3. You will also need to install the Pipeline software.

* '''Instance size'''  (memory and number of processors). The pipeline software will require at least 8GB of memory (type m1.large) and can use as many processors as is available.

* '''Instance size'''  (memory and number of processors). The pipeline software will require at least 4GB of memory (type m1.medium) and can use as many processors as is available.

* '''Storage''' for the instance refers to the size for root (/) partition. This can be quite small, as little as 8GB should work. Of course if you intend to bring lots of other files/programs to the instance, you may want to increase this to something a bit larger (e.g. 30GB).
