Thank you for pointing this out. I've tried $ euca-describe-instances EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set. Connection failed while having EC2_CERT and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY setup and in shell where ec2-describe-instances works. The man euca-describe-instances(1) says that Euca2ools will use the environment variables EC2_URL, EC2_ACCESS_KEY, EC2_SECRET_KEY, EC2_CERT, EC2_PRIVATE_KEY, S3_URL, EUCALYPTUS_CERT by default. Is there anything else I need to have setup beyond EC2_CERT and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY? -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat

fedora-14-x86_64-S3.ec2: AMIs with instance-store root device not supported for 't1.micro' ???
by sean darcy 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Amazon has started offering a year free trial: Ihttp://aws.amazon.com/free. So I'm trying to get my first instance ever running on ec2. I'm trying to use the x86-64 ami from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Images. But: /opt/amazon/webservices/ec2-api-tools-1.3-57419/bin/ec2-run-instances ami-e291668b -k pstam-keypair Client.InvalidParameterValue: The requested instance type's architecture (i386) does not match the architecture in the manifest for ami-e291668b (x86_64) Supposedly the Micro instance in the free trial supports both 32 and 64 bit: Micro Instance 613 MB memory Up to 2 EC2 Compute Units (for short periodic bursts) EBS storage only 32-bit or 64-bit platform I/O Performance: Low API name: t1.micro I tried: /opt/amazon/webservices/ec2-api-tools-1.3-57419/bin/ec2-run-instances ami-e291668b -t t1.micro -k pstam-keypair Client.UnsupportedOperation: AMIs with an instance-store root device are not supported for the instance type 't1.micro'. The 386 ami works. Am I doing something wrong, or does F14 64-bit image just not work as a micro instance? sean

FC 14 root partition size
by Dima Brodsky 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi, First, want to say a big thank you for making FC 14 available on EC2, very much appreciated. Second, when I booted the new FC 14 image it came up with a 2GB root partition. Is there any way to increase this parition to say 10gig, and if not, what approach should one take with respect to installing packages, etc, since I don't think that 2GB will be sufficient. Thanks! ttyl Dima -- ddbrodsky(a)gmail.com "The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find the most hard to pay." (Sir Antony Hoare, 1980)

Hey Cloud SIG, let's start talking about F15.
by Robyn Bergeron 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

We are just a few weeks away from the Fedora 14 release, and actually having a new version of Fedora on EC2. This has been *the* major goal over the past, well, 10 months since this list was created, and I'm delighted that it is finally coming together. (Thank you, Justin, for doing all of this work, and everyone else who has been working on supporting his efforts and helping out with behind-the-scenes stuff like talking to Amazon and writing documentation and asking questions!) Of course, this is Fedora, and I know a lot of us are thinking about *what we can do next*. So I'd like to have a discussion here on our friendly mailing-list about some of the things we'd like to do in F15 (and beyond!). First off: We have a lot of stuff in the pipeline that I think we could submit to the Feature List for Fedora 15. What is this "stuff," you might ask? * OpenStack - We already have the Swift portion of this in, and Nova is in the pipeline. (Thanks, silassewell.) http://www.openstack.org * Deltacloud - I'm not sure how far along this is, or if it's possible that this could be fully in for F15, or if there are clearly definable portions that could be F15 features. Anyone from Deltacloud - can you pipe in here? :) http://deltacloud.org/ * BoxGrinder - Marek Goldmann is working on packaging. http://www.jboss.org/boxgrinder * Eucalyptus - obino has been looking for some mentorship as far as packaging goes. If there are folks around to help out with this, I think it would be awesome to have as a feature. Is anyone willing to help out here? http://open.eucalyptus.com/ * Sheepdog - Steven Dake is working on this. http://www.osrg.net/sheepdog/ Additionally, we probably have further enhancements we could make on the EC2 front - namely, having really awesome documentation, which Sparks has been poking the list on since he'd love to help us out there. What other EC2-related enhancements are there for us to tackle? But what I am interested in is - what do YOU guys think about what we could, or even *should*, be doing? Are there other cloud tools, implementations, projects, etc. we should be looking at? What are they? What should Fedora's ongoing cloud-sig focus be? Yes, I know, I'm full of questions. :) Cheers, -Robyn

Other cloud providers - Fedora on things other than EC2 + marketing
by Robyn Bergeron 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hey folks, rackerhacker (who, for the record, is a Rackspace employee, as well as a Fedora fan :D) pinged me on IRC and talked to a few other people as well about the idea of marketing not just Fedora on EC2, but also Fedora on $otherproviders as well. I think we all can agree that while getting things up on EC2 (thanks, Justin!!) was an important first step, but there are obviously other providers out there as well, including some that already have F14 available for their customers - and it's certainly a place where we can benefit from advertising as well. I know that this past time around, having Fedora on EC2 was an actual feature. Going forward, do we want to have that as a feature that is more general - such as Fedora on Many Providers? Or do we want to take the opportunity to talk about things in an interim fashion *now* and maybe do something such as a press piece talking about Fedora on Rackspace (or any other provider, heck, I'd be happy to keep talking it up for months)? Or perhaps both is a good idea? Looking for your thoughts! I'll also add it to this week's meeting agenda. Cheers, Robyn

"yum check" error with ami-669f680f
by Eric V. Smith 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this. If not, please let me know a more appropriate place. If I fire up an instance of ami-669f680f (fedora-images-us-east-1/fedora-14-i386-S3.ec2.manifest.xml) and the first command I run is "yum check", I get: $ yum check ec2-ami-tools-1.3-57676.noarch has missing requires of rsync ec2-ami-tools-1.3-57676.noarch has missing requires of ruby Error: check all $ I can manually install these and the error goes away, but presumably there shouldn't be an error with the image. Eric.
