How do I boot a node on ec2

[David Montgomery <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

How do I launch a node on ec2?  I am having a tough time finding
documentation.

I want to boot one node, t1.micro, and pass the pem file,ami,sec group
etc.

Is there any example that works wit the current version of libcloud?

Thanks

Yeah, you can pass in a list for ex_securitygroup.

I just noticed driver docstrings don't indicate that. I'll update it to
correctly indicate that you can also pass in a list.

(next time please also send message to the mailing list)

Funny enough, I was just working on adding an example to documentation
which shows how to create an EC2 node using a custom AMI.

You can find it at
https://ci.apache.org/projects/libcloud/docs/compute/examples.html#create-ec2-node-using-a-custom-ami

This one doesn't show how to use an existing key pair and security group,
but you can do that by passing ex_keyname='name_of_existing_key_pair'
and ex_securitygroup='security group name' keyword arguments to the
create_node method.
