[StarCluster] Amazon AMI 64-bit Ubuntu 11 HVM-EBS for eu-west-1 region

[MacMullan, Hugh]

Hi Ed:

I have no EU AMIs, but I've been curious about the second question you have: what's the 'easy' way to transfer AMIs? I poked around a bit today, and it looks like 'migrate-ebs-image.pl', part of the VM::EC2 Perl module, is a good solution ... except that it converts my HVM AMIs to PV. Argh! :)

I've got a query in with the developer (Lincoln Stein) about HVM copies. I'll let you know what I discover.

That said, if others have other easy ways to transfer AMIs ... I'm all ears too!

Hi.

Does anyone know if there is an AMI available using HVM version of Ubuntu for the cc8.xlarge compute node for starcluster in the eu-west-1 region?

I have been quite happily using the AMI ami-4583572c us-east-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-11.10-x86_64-hvm (HVM-EBS) on the us-east region, but couldn't find any HVM versions in the eu region.

Any ideas? Can the HVM-EBS be easily transferred to the eu region?

Ed.
