pallet-aws and EC2

[Fernando Hernandez]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to set up the number of cores and RAM that each node on EC2 should have when deploying with pallet-aws.

I tried a number of ways, included what's stated in the README and it always seems to create a 'm1.small' instance.

I'm creating nodes the by creating a node-spec as follows:

(group-spec spec-name

          :node-spec (node-spec :image {  :os-family :ubuntu

                                          :os-version "14.04"

                                          :os-64-bit true

                                          :login-user "ubuntu"

                                          :image-id  "ami-c8cf3ba0" }

                                :location {:location-id "us-east-1d"}

                                :hardware { :min-cores 8  ;; should this be big enough so that it's not m1.small?

                                            :min-ram 8000 }

          :extends  stardog-spec)

And then using that group spec like this:

(converge {mygroup-spec n}

          :compute myserver-instance

          :phase mycompute-phases)

Where 'myserver-instance' is created as follows:

(instantiate-provider "pallet-ec2"

                    :identity "myaccessid"

                    :credential "mysecretkey")

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Fernando

Which README?

pallet-aws is a little different to pallet-jclouds, in that it doesn't
do anything clever about selecting an instance size - you need to
manually specify it with `:hardware-id "m1.small"` for instance.

Yes, I figured that out, a few moments after I wrote my email. I also noticed that it only accepts instance-types defined in the corresponding AWS SDK.

Thanks,
