Hello folks,

I installed Scalr on my Ubuntu machine before a few days back. While trying to provision an EC2 instance it was provisioning directly with m3.Large plan instead i wanna to provision it with t2.Nano memory but there was no option to choose the plan of my instance and autoscaling etc in farms. Also it was not providing the pre-built scalr images. I am also unable to find the GCP and Openstack platforms to spin up the instances. Could you please suggest.

Hi Usha,

It sounds like you may be attempting to launch instances using the "Role Builder" rather than as a Farm.  Firstly, in order to gain access to our "Shared Roles" on public clouds, you will want to execute the Sync Shared Roles script.  Please keep in mind, for private clouds such as OpenStack you will need to register your images manually.  Once you have Images/Roles created, you can then create Farms and select your provisioning options, including instance size, when you add Farm Roles to your Farm.  By the way, welcome to the Scalr Open Source community! We're excited to have you join us.  Please feel free to post any issues or questions you have moving forward and we will do our best to lend a hand.

Many thanks,
Wm. Marc O'Brien
