=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [03:02] is there any way to give an alias to an instance so i can keep track of them? [03:06] look up user data / meta data [03:14] will that let me change the instance name in the console? [03:18] no it won't. not sure what the instance name is in the aws console. that could be separate from the API [03:22] yeah - i'm just trying to figure out the best way to tell what a particular instance is doing [03:23] total noob here [03:27] 'what a particular instance is doing' ? [03:34] well - let's say i have 30 instances and there are about 5 different functions...how do i keep track? [03:39] hekman: I often write down the instance id and its purpose in a text file. What, specifically, are you looking to do beyond this? [03:40] erichammond: mostly i'm trying to wrap my head around managing large scale deployments [03:41] especially when you do auto-scaling, etc [03:42] 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. [03:43] that sounds like a decent approach [03:43] hekman: Instances could also register themselves on startup with, say, SimpleDB [03:43] i could also use AMIs I guess [03:43] custom AMIs for each role [03:44] hekman: Managing lots of different AMIs can be difficult, especially as you need to regularly release updated AMIs. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [12:18] hey folks, is there are resource which lists the latest kernel and ramdisk images (aki/ari) for the official canonical/ubuntu images?
