I would like to convert it to an EC2 instance. The VM is already 50gb. How would I go about it? === Hussain is now known as Hussain_Away [15:48] erichammond: ping! got a second to talk about your ideas for adding the rest of the Amazon tools to Ubuntu? [15:58] selinuxium, i dont think there is any straightforward documentation written. [15:58] you'll basically have to perform a 'v2v', and remember that on ec2 root filesystem is /dev/sda1 and you upload a partition (not a full disk). [15:59] for anyone interested, I'm been playing with porting instance support (for UEC images) and host support (for UEC) for rebooting into new kernels back to lucid.

[16:13] smoser, How would I go about doing a v2v, from which side would you perform the task? [16:14] i only have very general advice. [16:14] for a starting point, i'd suggest [16:14] - start an ubuntu instance [16:14] - attach a volume [16:15] - rsync the vmware's partition's content to the attached volume [16:15] - unmount volume [16:15] - snapshot volume, register ami [16:16] - debug, rinse, repeat [16:16] things you'll probably want to add to your image in ec2 would be: [16:16] - linux-ec2 kernel [16:16] - cloud-init [16:24] smoser, cheers for your help. :) [16:25] selinuxium, i'm sure others would be interested in your findings [16:25] if you blogged or wrote a mail on what you had to do to ubuntu-cloud mailing list [16:26] smoser, I will give it a go :) [17:50] is it possible to use cores from multiple servers in one VM? [17:59] multiple nodes* [18:47] Makere, ? [18:48] you mean like if you had 2 machines each with 4 cpus, could you create a VM that used 6 cpus ? [18:48] is that what you're asking? [19:09] ye [19:28] no. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
