Ubuntu on Amazon EC2

Amazon EC2 Starter Everyone knows it, right? To get started you need: Browser to use AWS Manager, Rightscale, other mgmt tool Or for CLI junkies Java (need the full closed Sun JRE) AWS Account ( http://aws.amazon.com ) Enabled for EC2 Credentials (x.509 cert & private key) SSH Client

Everyone knows it, right?

To get started you need:

Browser to use AWS Manager, Rightscale, other mgmt tool

Or for CLI junkies

Java (need the full closed Sun JRE)

AWS Account ( http://aws.amazon.com )

Enabled for EC2

Credentials (x.509 cert & private key)

SSH Client

Ubuntu on EC2 Beta 2 US - x86 = ami-69d73000 US - x86_64 = ami-18d73071 Disk size = 10mb Dynamic hostname upon startup ec2-ami-tools included for rebundling 2.6.27-19 kernel Ubuntu = default user

Beta 2

US - x86 = ami-69d73000

US - x86_64 = ami-18d73071

Disk size = 10mb

Dynamic hostname upon startup

ec2-ami-tools included for rebundling

2.6.27-19 kernel

Ubuntu = default user

Common to-do items New startups Each time you are starting a fresh instance from scratch AMI tools are bundled in the image for re-bundling SSH into the image ssh -i <path to private key> ubuntu@<amazon machine name> Always want to update the image to the latest patch level sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Screen is your best friend! Use Tasksel to add new preconfigured options LAMP, SAMBA, CUPS, etc Or just add packages you wish to add
