Increasethe maximum number of permissible tick profiling buffers by increasing the value of EventTickBuffersMaxAllocatedBeforeShutoff in the command line arguments. To avoid data structure resizes, use EventTickBuffersAllocated to simultaneously increase the chunk size used at initialization and for expansion. For example:
The flag -XX:+JNIDetachThreadsIfNotDetached is needed by any application that attaches a JNI thread to the VM but does not detach the thread before calling pthread_exit. For example with IBM WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging (LLM) applications.
Run the zing-ps tool to list any running Zing processes. Stop the processes. Re-run zing-ps to verify all Zing processes are stopped. Reissue the uninstallation or upgrade commands.
Running Linux processes are taking up a large amount of memory while attempting to configure Azul Platform Prime memory. Or, you have selected values that are too aggressive using the wizard or directly in the pmem.conf configuration file.
Long after system startup (and after much memory has been consumed back and forth), ZST might fail to allocate the requested amount of memory, as it might (a) already be occupied or (b) exist in fragmented state that cannot be defragmented into 2MB pages. Transparent huge pages on RHEL 6.x can help recover 2MB pages, but might not be absolutely reliable, and on other systems (RHEL 5.x, SUSE 11, and other non-RHEL-6 kernel prior to 2.6.38) it is unlikely that you can find 75% of system memory in 2MB page form after the system has run loads for a while and cached files.
The kernel you are running has no associated configuration file in the system /boot directory. A normal kernel installation and build will always include such a file. This is a serious error indicating that you are running a kernel in a non-standard way.
Xen virtualization and in Amazon EC2 environments, paravirtualization is not supported in Azul Platform Prime. Only HVM (Hardware-assisted Virtual Machine) instances are supported. See the Azul Platform Prime System Requirements document for the complete list of the supported operating systems and kernels.
ZST and the HugePages memory conflict, as they both reserve memory for themselves. The ZST memory service reserves and manages its own memory space, so Large Memory Pages configured by the operating system make it difficult or impossible for the ZST memory service to reserve enough pages for Azul Platform Prime. Therefore, set the output from the three Huge variables to zero.
If CPU load is high and JVM contributes a large portion of it, try -XX:+PromoteCheckpoints. Depending on the load specifics, forcing earlier promotions with additional -XX:CheckpointPromotionDelay= may give better results.
In ZST reserve-at-config mode, when there is not enough memory left in the ZST partition to fund the whole of Xmx. Here the solution is to increase the ZST partition or reduce Xmx or stop other running Azul Platform Prime processes.
In ZST reserve-at-launch mode, when ZST memory could not be extended sufficiently to fund the whole of Xmx. Here the solution is to add more memory or increase the overall limit for ZST memory or reduce Xmx or stop other running processes.
Amazon EC2 registration requires you to have a valid phone number and email address on file with AWS in case we ever need to contact you. Verifying your phone number takes only a couple of minutes and involves receiving a phone call during the registration process and entering a PIN using the phone key pad.
Once you have set up your account and select or create your AMIs, you are ready to boot your instance. You can start your AMI on any number of On-Demand instances by using the RunInstances API call. You simply need to indicate how many instances you wish to launch. If you wish to run more than your On-Demand quota, complete the Amazon EC2 instance request form.
If Amazon EC2 is able to fulfill your request, RunInstances will return success, and we will start launching your instances. You can check on the status of your instances using the DescribeInstances API call. You can also programmatically terminate any number of your instances using the TerminateInstances API call.
If you have a running instance using an Amazon EBS boot partition, you can also use the StopInstances API call to release the compute resources but preserve the data on the boot partition. You can use the StartInstances API when you are ready to restart the associated instance with the Amazon EBS boot partition.
In addition, you have the option to use Spot Instances to reduce your computing costs when you have flexibility in when your applications can run. Read more about Spot Instances for a more detailed explanation on how Spot Instances work.
When you launch your Amazon EC2 instances you have the ability to store your root device data on Amazon EBS or the local instance store. By using Amazon EBS, data on the root device will persist independently from the lifetime of the instance. This enables you to stop and restart the instance at a subsequent time, which is similar to shutting down your laptop and restarting it when you need it again.
Alternatively, the local instance store only persists during the life of the instance. This is an inexpensive way to launch instances where data is not stored to the root device. For example, some customers use this option to run large web sites where each instance is a clone to handle web traffic.
It typically takes less than 10 minutes from the issue of the RunInstances call to the point where all requested instances begin their boot sequences. This time depends on a number of factors including: the size of your AMI, the number of instances you are launching, and how recently you have launched that AMI. Images launched for the first time may take slightly longer to boot.
Amazon EC2 allows you to set up and configure everything about your instances from your operating system up to your applications. An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is simply a packaged-up environment that includes all the necessary bits to set up and boot your instance. Your AMIs are your unit of deployment. You might have just one AMI or you might compose your system out of several building block AMIs (e.g., webservers, appservers, and databases). Amazon EC2 provides a number of tools to make creating an AMI easy. Once you create a custom AMI, you will need to bundle it. If you are bundling an image with a root device backed by Amazon EBS, you can simply use the bundle command in the AWS Management Console. If you are bundling an image with a boot partition on the instance store, then you will need to use the AMI Tools to upload it to Amazon S3. Amazon EC2 uses Amazon EBS and Amazon S3 to provide reliable, scalable storage of your AMIs so that we can boot them when you ask us to do so.
The RunInstances call that initiates execution of your application stack will return a set of DNS names, one for each system that is being booted. This name can be used to access the system exactly as you would if it were in your own data center. You own that machine while your operating system stack is executing on it.
Yes, Amazon EC2 is used jointly with Amazon S3 for instances with root devices backed by local instance storage. By using Amazon S3, developers have access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. In order to execute systems in the Amazon EC2 environment, developers use the tools provided to load their AMIs into Amazon S3 and to move them between Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. See How do I load and store my systems with Amazon EC2? for more information about AMIs.
We expect developers to find the combination of Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 to be very useful. Amazon EC2 provides cheap, scalable compute in the cloud while Amazon S3 allows users to store their data reliably.
You are limited to running On-Demand Instances per your vCPU-based On-Demand Instance limit, purchasing 20 Reserved Instances, and requesting Spot Instances per your dynamic Spot limit per region. New AWS accounts may start with limits that are lower than the limits described here.
If you need more instances, complete the Amazon EC2 limit increase request form with your use case, and your limit increase will be considered. Limit increases are tied to the region they were requested for.
Yes. In order to maintain the quality of Amazon EC2 addresses for sending email, we enforce default limits on the amount of email that can be sent from EC2 accounts. If you wish to send larger amounts of email from EC2, you can apply to have these limits removed from your account by filling out this form.
Amazon EC2 provides a truly elastic computing environment. Amazon EC2 enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes, not hours or days. You can commission one, hundreds or even thousands of server instances simultaneously. When you need more instances, you simply call RunInstances, and Amazon EC2 will typically set up your new instances in a matter of minutes. Of course, because this is all controlled with web service APIs, your application can automatically scale itself up and down depending on its needs.
Amazon EC2 currently supports a variety of operating systems including: Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, openSUSE Leap, Fedora, Fedora CoreOS, Debian, CentOS, Gentoo Linux, Oracle Linux, and FreeBSD. We are looking for ways to expand it to other platforms.
When computing requirements unexpectedly change (up or down), Amazon EC2 can instantly respond, meaning that developers have the ability to control how many resources are in use at any given point in time. In contrast, traditional hosting services generally provide a fixed number of resources for a fixed amount of time, meaning that users have a limited ability to easily respond when their usage is rapidly changing, unpredictable, or is known to experience large peaks at various intervals.
