Using an AMI
From PrgmrWiki
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/2008-05-05/GettingStartedGuide/
So there are many pre-made amazon machine images...
here is one convenient list
Unfortunately, to actually download an image, it looks like I need to re package it...
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/message.jspa?messageID=72369
so ok, now I need the ec2 tools:
wget 'http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html/ref=aws_rc_ec2tools?location=http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-api-tools.zip&token=A80325AA4DAB186C80828ED5138633E3F49160D9'
unzip ec2-api-tools.zip
next I need to download the certificate and private key from ec2
now I need to set some environment variables
export EC2_HOME=/home/lsc/ec2/ec2-api-tools-1.3-19403
export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin
export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=`ls $EC2_HOME/pk-*.pem`
export EC2_CERT=`ls $EC2_HOME/cert-*.pem`
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
and now
./bin/ec2dim -x all
gives me a huge number of images.
I'm going back to the list I referenced at the begining- I'm using a image I see with ami id
if you see Client.InvalidSecurity: Request has expired
that means your clock is wrong. setup ntpd or ntpdate
ok, so now I go bak to the list at the beining and select a image. ami id ami-d8a347b1.

perhaps I need a real -u value?
