| hekman | is there any way to give an alias to an instance so i can keep track of them? | 03:02 |
|---|---|---|
| flaccid | look up user data / meta data | 03:06 |
| hekman | will that let me change the instance name in the console? | 03:14 |
| flaccid | no it won't. not sure what the instance name is in the aws console. that could be separate from the API | 03:18 |
| hekman | yeah - i'm just trying to figure out the best way to tell what a particular instance is doing | 03:22 |
| hekman | total noob here | 03:23 |
| flaccid | 'what a particular instance is doing' ? | 03:27 |
| hekman | well - let's say i have 30 instances and there are about 5 different functions...how do i keep track? | 03:34 |
| erichammond | hekman: I often write down the instance id and its purpose in a text file. What, specifically, are you looking to do beyond this? | 03:39 |
| hekman | erichammond: mostly i'm trying to wrap my head around managing large scale deployments | 03:40 |
| hekman | especially when you do auto-scaling, etc | 03:41 |
| erichammond | hekman: If you're just looking for a simple tag associated with each role, you can assign an extra security group to instances with the role name. The security group does not need to have any special permissions. | 03:42 |
| hekman | that sounds like a decent approach | 03:43 |
| erichammond | hekman: Instances could also register themselves on startup with, say, SimpleDB | 03:43 |
| hekman | i could also use AMIs I guess | 03:43 |
| hekman | custom AMIs for each role | 03:43 |
| erichammond | hekman: Managing lots of different AMIs can be difficult, especially as you need to regularly release updated AMIs. | 03:44 |

| alonswartz | hey folks, is there are resource which lists the latest kernel and ramdisk images (aki/ari) for the official canonical/ubuntu images? | 12:18 |
| alonswartz | and ofcourse their versions | 12:19 |
| alonswartz | I compiled a list of what looks like the latest versions for the current LTS (Hardy) http://alonswartz.pastebin.com/H9CSdyUv but it would be useful to know their versions | 12:20 |

| erichammond | alonswartz (departed): I think this may be what you are looking for: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/ | 18:16 |
| erichammond | For example, Hardy is: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/hardy/server/released.current.txt | 18:16 |
