Amazon EC2 support under SmartFrog

• Amazon S3
  • S3 Jets3t
• Building a new AMI Image
• EC2 Components
• EC2 Security
• EC2 Stories
• Getting Started with EC2
• sf-restlet
• Starting an EC2 Image by Hand

Use Cases

1. Use SmartFrog to publish artifacts to the S3 repository
2. Use SmartFrog to bring up, track and tear down one or more EC2 images
3. Deploy SmartFrog on E2 instances to allow extra components to be deployed
4. Register with an XMPP server for liveness state tracking without needing to know IP Addresses.
5. List all images available to a specific user, locate one by manifest name for deployment.
6. List running instances, terminate those deployed by a specific user/with a specific image

Needs

Deliverables

1. The sf-ec2 components.
2. Separate sf-restlet components
3. Enhancements to the sf-www components
4. Enhancements to the sf-xmpp components

Testing

EC2/S3 components are tested by talking direct to the Amazon services. They do not work offline, and need an access key that must be kept secret. Failure to correctly terminate an instance runs up large bills.
