Amazon EC2 Cheatsheet
I use Amazon EC2 every day and yet I always forget how to use their command-line tools. Here are a few common scenarios I run into, and their solutions.
Okay, just kidding, there's only one. I'm planning on editing this post over time 
Bundling an AMI from a running instance
- Use scp to copy your private key (pk-*.pem) to root@yourami:/mnt
- Log in as root and bundle the volume
$ ec2-bundle-vol -d /mnt -k /mnt/pk-*.pem –cert /mnt/cert-*.pem -u YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID -s 10240
Now you have several minutes to kill. Click play…
- Upload the image to Amazon S3. You may want to do this inside of screen; I had my ssh session time out on me while it was working a couple of times.
$ s3cmd ls # List all S3 buckets
$ ec2-upload-bundle -b YOUR_S3_BUCKET -m /mnt/image.manifest.xml
$ ec2-upload-bundle -b YOUR_S3_BUCKET -m /mnt/image.manifest.xml -a YOUR_ACCESS_KEY -s YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Register the AMI. This is something you need to do even when updating an image that has already been registered.
$ ec2-register YOUR_S3_BUCKET/image.manifest.xml
This will return an AMI identifier that can be used to run a new instance.
$ ec2-run-instances YOUR_AMI_IDENTIFIER

Great post, I

I am extremely disappointed with the way you have handled this project - I believe you are taking my patience for granted. This may also be because you are holding my $350 and I have nothing to show for it. I will not push any further. If you cannot complete this project by the last day of this month, then I will let it go. I will count my losses and move on.
I've recently been looking all about for all of this material. Good thing my partner and i uncovered this in Msn.
