Summer 2015 release as EC2 AMI #49

Closed ck37 closed 9 years ago

ck37 commented 9 years ago

Does the summer 2015 release exist as an EC2 AMI? I can only find the spring 2015 release :(

paciorek commented 9 years ago

I never got around to building it for summer 2015, partly just because I didn't know that anyone was using the spring 2015 one other than me. If we think there is demand, I could do it (or tell you how to do it). Otherwise I'll make sure to do it for fall 2015 release.

Gotcha, yeah I would be happy to do it or otherwise help out.

It might be helpful to have the official BCE AMI for the AWS train the trainer session happening next week.

paciorek commented 9 years ago

I'm on vacation next week so will not be able to do a summer 2015 AMI.

I would think the AWS train the trainer could use the spring 2015 AMI, no?

If not, and if anyone wants to build the summer 2015 AMI I can help give some tips before I leave on Sunday.

@paciorek any tips you have that may save us time re-learning what you've already figured out would be much appreciated.

paciorek commented 9 years ago

I looked back at my notes and don't have much recorded.

Basically, I believe this covers it:

I think that's it but possible I'm forgetting something.

oh, and change the source AMI so that it is for the relevant version of Ubuntu (now 15.04).

Current source AMI is in us-west-1 and is ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-trusty-14.04-amd64-server-20140816

So we'd want to search Community AMIs for a recent hvm-ssd AMI for the relevant Ubuntu version.

Basically, I believe this covers it:

  • edit BCE-14.10-amd64.json file stanza for amazon-ebs type (update ami_name, and per Chris K's thought, perhaps swap 'region' and 'ami_regions' contents so building happens in us-west-2
  • following HOWTO.md in provisioning run "make ec2"
  • (a bit vague here..) I believe this will upload the AMIs to us-west-{1,2} in the builders AWS account. So far this has been the SCF account. I'm happy to keep the AMIs there, but if someone else builds, we end up with the AMIs located in different places, which could be confusing.
  • make sure to set the AMIs to be public -- go to AWS Management Console, EC2 dashboard, select AMIs, click on the AMI for BCE and then choose Actions->Modify Image Permissions. Select 'Public'.

I think that's it but possible I'm forgetting something.

Yeah I was just noticing that the current dev code doesn't even build on EC2 right now due to using the old AMI - it hangs while waiting for SSH to be enabled.

The new AMIs are listed at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/15.04/release/ so I'm testing the hvm-ssd one now.

paciorek commented 9 years ago

I just commited a change to dev branch that has updates to the BCE-summer-2015.json to be for 15.04 and to build on us-west-2.

Ok, I have created BCE-2015-summer AMIs on us-west-2 (ami-1f121e2f) and us-west-1 (ami-859469c1) with the latest source code and made them public. These are hosted on the D-Lab AWS account. Closing this issue.
