New EC2 Adminstration tool --- no choice in whether to use EC2 small or medium 32 bit machines ?

Submitted by bmullan on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 7:13am

For 32bit images
Amazon EC2 supports 2 different machine models
small
medium

Medium gives you
2 core vs 1
7.5 GB of Memory vs 1.7GB

The Jumpbox tool should let the user choose which of those two 32 bit machine models to run the server on.

Many web sites will need more than what the "small" instance offers in horsepower.

‹ 64 bit images - Does JumpBox have any plans if/when they might offer these ?? Liferay EC2 SSH ›

New EC2 Adminstration tool

Hello Brian,
Your observations are correct. The JumpBox AMI Launch tool does not currently let you select the AMI image type. By default it launches a small instance. For users who want more control over Launching AMIs, they can use Amazons AWS Console, ElasticFox or any other number of things to select instance types, use spot or reserved instances, or any of the many other options.
