hi nolan, i think starcluster is a great way to create a cluster on aws. but for those wanting to create a single instance and install things on an ami without actually having a large ami, fabric might be a good option.
fabric: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.3.2/index.html example: (another neurodebian ami) https://github.com/wholeslide/ipython_in_a_box/blob/master/fabfile.py cheers, satra On Sat, Nov 12, 2011 at 6:11 AM, Nolan Nichols <bnn...@uw.edu> wrote: > Thanks, Pedro! > > I am glad to see that you posted a public AMI for freesurfer.
