Cloud Scheduler Test Drive

We’ve created an Amazon EC2 AMI to test out Cloud Scheduler. To run it, you’ll need an EC2 account.

First, create a cloudscheduler security group. We do this to avoid changing any of your default security settings.

$ ec2addgrp cloudscheduler -d "Used for Cloud Scheduler"
$ ec2auth cloudscheduler -P tcp -p 22
$ ec2auth cloudscheduler -P tcp -p 40000-40050
$ ec2auth cloudscheduler -P udp -p 40000-40050
$ ec2auth cloudscheduler -P tcp -p 9618
$ ec2auth cloudscheduler -P udp -p 9618

The test drive AMI id is ami-f9ff1190, which you can start up with the following command (assuming you have a keypair called “ec2-keypair”)

$ ec2run ami-f9ff1190 -k ec2-keypair -g cloudscheduler
RESERVATION	r-68cfca00	698921978758	cloudscheduler
INSTANCE	i-df6cfcb4	ami-f9ff1190			pending	ec2-keypair	0		m1.small	2010-04-07T18:36:50+0000	us-east-1d	aki-9b00e5f2			monitoring-disabled

Once the image is booted, ssh as the root user to the machine, and read through the README.

$ ssh -i ~/.ec2/id_rsa-ec2-keypair [email protected]
[root@ec2-75-101-197-134 ~]# cat README

From there, you’ll be guided on how to run Cloud Scheduler.
