it's pretty simple. just create an s3 bucket, note the bucket name in the hadoop-ec2.sh file (with the other necessary values). then call

hadoop-ec2 create-image

i'll try and update the wiki soon.

Thank you. I will check that out. I haven't built an AMI before. Hopefully it isn't too complicated, as it is easy to use the pre- built AMI's.

Check out the patch in Hadoop-2410 to the contrib/ec2 scripts
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2410
(just grab the ec2.tgz attachment)

these scripts allow you do dynamically grow your cluster plus some extra goodies. you will need to use them to build your own ami, they are not compatible with the hadoop-images amis.

using them should be self explanatory.

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience adding nodes to a cluster running on EC2? If so, is there some documentation on how to do this?

Thanks,
