Tom White updated HADOOP-952:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: hadoop-952.patch

This patch includes changes to the EC2 scripts to support creation of public 
AMIs. The main changes are to do with tightening up security - there is a good 
checklist at 
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonEC2/dg/2006-10-01/public-ami-guidelines.html.
 The important thing is to clear out keys before bundling the image. Also, 
since the hadoop AMIs were previously private it was OK to create a new SSH key 
for the cluster and embed it in the image - this is now a big no no, since it 
would allow people to connect to someone else's cluster! Instead, your EC2 
keypair is used for password-less logins across the cluster.

Before publishing some images, it would be great if someone could test a 
private image I have created and sanity check the setup. I'll grant access 
using the mechanism described here: 
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?entryID=530&ref=featured.
 So, if you have an EC2 account and would like to help please email me (off 
list) with your AWS account ID (note this is _not_ either of your access keys). 

After this I'll create a public image.

> HADOOP-884 makes it easy to run Hadoop on an EC2 cluster, but building an AMI 
> (Abstract Machine Image) can take a little while. Amazon EC2 supports shared 
> AMIs 
> (http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?entryID=530&ref=featured),
>  so we could provide publically available AMIs for each Hadoop release.
