Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with Linux, MySQL and ClouSE

To get started with Amazon EC2 please refer to http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/concepts.html.

OblakSoft provides an EBS-backed AMI with Amazon Linux, MySQL server community edition and ClouSE preinstalled:

The AMI is registered in the US East (Virginia) Region so when launching instances using this AMI please make sure to pick the US East (Virginia) Region in the AWS management console or provide the --region us-east-1 flag to the command line tools. The instances launched using this AMI will run in the US East (Virginia) Region.

For more information about launching instances please refer to http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/LaunchingAndUsingInstances.html.

After the instance is up and running, you need to connect to the instance to finish ClouSE configuration. This can be done using the ssh command or PuTTY software. For more information about connecting to instances please refer to http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html.

Note that in the connect command example the AWS management console shows a command line like 

   ssh -i your-keypar.pem root@ec2-N-N-N-N.compute-X.amazonaws.com
but in fact ec2-user must be specified instead of root, i.e. the command should look like 
   ssh -i your-keypar.pem ec2-user@ec2-N-N-N-N.compute-X.amazonaws.com

To finish ClouSE configuration the clouse_cloud_data_url and clouse_cloud_auth_key options must be specified in the /etc/my.cnf file. The /etc/my.cnf file has a brief description of ClouSE configuration syntax.

After the configuration options are specified the MySQL server must be restarted using the sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart command.

For more information about configuring ClouSE please refer to http://www.oblaksoft.com/docs/clouse.pdf.
