Question

Possible to use an EBS volume from the stock FMS image on EC2 ?

I've been running the instance-store version of FMS in EC2 without any problems.

I'd like some changes to the config to be persisient though.

I've created an AMI (built using the stock CenOS 5.5 and FMS 4.02 AMI's Kernel ID and RAM disk ID) but when I launch it says the "AMI and kernel are incompatible" or similar.

Any ideas ?

Thanks very much.

    I dont think its possible or even allowed. You need to use only Adobe provided public AMI for using FMS on AWS.

    Thanks for the help.

    I plan on rolling out twenty edge servers in different AWS regions so I hope I don't have to manually tune each edge server whenever there's a broadcast !

    Can an admin shed any light please ?

    Adobe AMI is based on local instance store and is not EBS backed.

    However you can always create "Volumes" which are EBS backed and attach them to your instances. Once you are done, volumes can be detached and the instance terminated.

    To create Volumes, you can take a Snapshot and then quickly load the volume from that snapshot itself.

    Thanks.
