[07:24] <boxbeatsy> hi guys, do you all know if there is an EC2 AMI that has mySQL set up for external access?
[07:47] <flaccid> boxbeatsy: likely not, you could install it however in a running instance via a script and optionally re-bundle the instance into a new AMI. or you could just use rightscale
[07:49] <boxbeatsy> flaccid: i see, i think i'll just install it myself.  might as well learn.
[07:49] <boxbeatsy> thanks!
[07:50] <flaccid> np
[07:51] <flaccid> your distro will have the required documentation plus the mysql doc for altering the user to hosts
[07:51] <boxbeatsy> gotcha, thanks much
[13:44] <smoser> i think that subsequent spot-instance-requests by the same user are penalized
[13:44] <smoser> to avoid usage of spot-instance-request instead of normal launch
[13:44] <smoser> it seems that the first time I do one it comes back quickly.
[13:45] <smoser> soon after if I do another i'll get a *long* delay.
[13:45] <smoser> even when the price is well over the current rate
[13:56] <smoser> anyone else seen that sort of thing ?
