AWS server migration/scaleup (debian)
I’m using AWS (EC2) for a lot of my work at the moment, I generally run things out of a microinstance, however sometimes I need to scaleup to a larger system to run something computationally intensive. I’m using debian, and this is the script I’m currently using to do this. You’ll need to setup euca-tools, and have .eucarc files for the regions you want to use, but this might help point you in the right direction:
#!/bin/bash # Region select REGION=EU echo $REGION #for new regions you need to: #euca-add-keypair keypair_for_regular_debian_machine > keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete #chmod 0600 keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete cd ~ cp .eucarc_eu .eucarc # start instance if [ "$REGION" == "EU" ] then euca-run-instances --instance-type m1.xlarge ami-8992a5fd -k keypair_for_regular_debian_machine fi if [ "$REGION" == "JP" ] then echo "JP" euca-run-instances --instance-type m1.xlarge ami-22a80223 -k keypair_for_regular_debian_machine fi sleep 30 # setup remote system export NEWSERVER=`euca-describe-instances | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'` ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER useradd --shell /bin/bash new ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER mkdir /home/new ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER chowan new:users /home/new ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER chmod 777 /home/new ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER apt-get update ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete root@$NEWSERVER apt-get -y install make g++ vim gnuplot unison scp -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -r -i keypair_private_$REGION.asc_complete /home/new root@$NEWSERVER:/home/new
