Thanks both of you for your input.
Yes I'm aware of the caveats (luckily I get to play with AWS, and AWS
automation, all day in my current job :) ).
Cheers,

I believe that the time required for system start depends on the list of
services. It could be shorted than two minutes, or longer. Depends.
I used a condition - 'if' he can trim the image to startup in about 15
seconds, it becomes feasible.

Thanks Etzion.
Yes you are on the same track as me.
An unmapped Elastic IP will cost $3.65/month, which is a significant amount
in comparison to the numbers I'm looking at skimming, so you are probably
right about using a no-ip address.
Finding the instance IP is a matter of a trivial curl call
Hi Amos.
It means you make use of an instance which is very quick to load. Removing
non-esential services, or postponing them to after Jira starts, using a
lightweight system, etc. If you can remove boot-time hogs, you can reach a
fast-booting system. A script using Amazon API will prepare it for
Hi Amos, Etzion,
You are talking about 15 seconds for bringing up the machine, and about
shutting down the machine according to idleness detection. Last time I
checked (and maybe I am not up-to-date),
1. It took about two minutes to bring up the machine.
2. Amazon charged per full hour. That is,
Etzion, just a question: Amos 0 if you can customise your instance to be
very very light, - what do you mean by that?
Your description is close to what I have in mind.
As for the changing IP address - this can be easily overcome using Elastic
IP and/or no-ip.com and friends.
Thanks,

I own a Solid-Run Cubox-i4Pro with a couple of GB of RAM and 4 ARMv7 cores
and run OpenELEC on it. I don't think that running Jira + Confluence (each
requiring its own JVM) is practical on this hardware, in parallel to the
other things I use it for.

Except that NUC costs about 700+ ILS (I have three. I know. This is the
Celeron version).
Amos 0 if you can customise your instance to be very very light, and it can
startup in about 15 seconds or so, it is acceptable to have it on-demand.
You can wrap it in a script (using AWS API and tools) to
I don't know what type of load JIRA presents but for low load private stuff
a raspberrypi or something similar (for heavier but still fairly 'light'
stuff maybe an Intel NUC system or a mini-itx system) at home + noip/dyndns
or some other form of locating it by yourself can be more then enough
I was thinking about running it on my own laptop, and perhaps I will.
But that would mean leaving it on around the clock which I don't want to

Amos,
IMHO, it's not technical, but more human issue. For example, as far as
you decide that you need Jira every last day of month, you can launch
instance automatically.
But typically Jira usage is more random, so I don't think there is
technical solution exist.
If you're the only Jira user,
Hi,
Do people here keep EC2 instances running?
Do you leave it running 24/7 or do you fire them up when you need them?
I'd like to run my own EC2 instance running $10 Jira + $10 Confluence (+$10
some extra useful add-ons) (to clarify - these are one-off $10 for each
product), but can't justify
I'm not an AWS expert and would love to hear from those who are. But we do
have a few (dozen) instances on AWS.
We have them running 24/7. I get that you could start and stop on demand,
but don't get how you would do that without changing the way you work in a
drastic way (compared to a physical
Yes I'm well aware of the RI option. It can save up to %70 for high-load
(i.e. machines which are up 24/7), but much less saving compared to
something that you can keep bringing up and down on demand.
Also the up-front cost is not cheap, and commits you to that type of
