For those who use Amazon EC2 service and were anxious about having XtraDB ready to launch there is a good news.

We created a public AMI (Amazon Machine Image) with XtraDB release 8 installed on CentOS 5.3.

How to use it.

First make sure it is avaiable.

$ ec2-describe-images ami-4701e22e<br>IMAGEÂ Â  ami-4701e22eÂ Â Â  xtradb/centos-5.3-x86_64.fs.manifest.xmlÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â  834362721059Â Â Â  availableÂ Â Â Â Â Â  publicÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  x86_64Â  machine<br>$<br>

1	$ ec2-describe-images ami-4701e22e<br>IMAGEÂ Â ami-4701e22eÂ Â Â xtradb/centos-5.3-x86_64.fs.manifest.xmlÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â 834362721059Â Â Â availableÂ Â Â Â Â Â publicÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â x86_64Â machine<br>$<br>

Run it. It is built for x86_64 plaform, so allowed types are m1.large, m1.xlarge and c1.xlarge

$ ec2-run-instances ami-4701e22e -t m1.large<br>RESERVATION     r-46b3432e      834362721059    default<br>INSTANCE        i-ecc74084      ami-4701e22e                    pending         0               m1.large        2009-10-25T18:31:06+0000        us-east-1c<br>

1	$ ec2-run-instances ami-4701e22e -t m1.large<br>RESERVATION r-46b3432e 834362721059 default<br>INSTANCE i-ecc74084 ami-4701e22e pending 0 m1.large 2009-10-25T18:31:06+0000 us-east-1c<br>

Wait till the instance starts

$ ec2-describe-instances i-ecc74084<br>RESERVATION     r-46b3432e      834362721059    default<br>INSTANCE        i-ecc74084      ami-4701e22e    ec2-75-101-203-143.compute-1.amazonaws.com      domU-12-31-39-0A-26-22.compute-1.internal       running      0<br>m1.large        2009-10-25T18:31:06+0000        us-east-1c<br>
