Create an EBS volume from an EBS snapshot #4

Closed natea closed 9 years ago

natea commented 14 years ago

It would be really useful to be able to create new EBS volumes from an existing EBS snapshot.

The aws.conf file could have something like this:

[instance:demo-server]
keypair = default
securitygroups = demo-server
region = eu-west-1
placement = eu-west-1a
image = ami-a62a01d2
snapshot = snap-2d8cd144 /dev/sdf
startup_script = startup-demo-server
fabfile = `fabfile.py`_

When you launch the instance demo-server, it would then create a new EBS volume from the snapshot "snap-2d8cd144" and attach it to the device /dev/sdf.

The info returned from the aws script would look something like this: INFO: Instance running. INFO: Instances DNS name ec2-184-73-240-104.compute-1.amazonaws.com INFO: Instances public DNS name ec2-184-73-240-104.compute-1.amazonaws.com INFO: Instances volume ID vol-58fc3031 created from snap-2d8cd144
