Fedora 13 on EC2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In short: it works!

== Wait, what?

Recently Amazon released new AKI images with PvGrub [1] which enables running kernels shipped with AMI instead of selecting AKI/ARI pair available on Amazon.

== How I can create my Fedora 13 image to run on EC2?

This week I added support (with David's help!) for Fedora 13 for EC2 to BoxGrinder [2], BoxGrinder is a tool for creating appliances (virtual machines) for various virtual environments (Xen, KVM, VMware, EC2). You can learn more about BoxGrinder reading the documentation [3]. New BoxGrinder Build version which has Fedora 13 support backed in, will be released this week! Feel free to watch our blog [4].

I used the following definition:

name: jeos-f13
summary: Just Enough Operating System based on Fedora 13
os:
 name: fedora
 version: 13
hardware:
 partitions:
   "/":
     size: 2
packages:
 includes:
   - bash
   - kernel-PAE
   - grub
   - e2fsprogs
   - passwd
   - policycoreutils
   - chkconfig
   - rootfiles
   - yum
   - vim-minimal
   - acpid
   - dhclient
   - iputils
   - openssh-server
   - openssh-clients
   - system-config-firewall-base

If you want still use kickstarts, Huff will provide a jeos kickstart file too, right?

== Is there a Fedora 13 AMI available NOW?

Yes, you can use this AMI:

	ami-988b60f1

Bear in mind: this is only a temporary 32 bit version. I'll create new JEOS images for 32 and 64 bit this week, stay tuned.

So, take care and test the image!
