Sage Bionetworks CommonCompute Environment

Build

1. Fork and clone this repository to your machine.
2. Install packer.
3. Change to the root of the repository you cloned, and run:

   packer build config.json
   

The installation requires a larger disk than is provided by the default AMIs. A custom AMI with > 100GB is required.

Amazon AWS credentials are required to be set as environment variables for AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY.

If the build fails because an AMI cannot be found, check that source AMI is current, look here: https://github.com/awslabs/cfncluster/blob/master/amis.txt and update the builders section source_ami in config.json.

CfnCluster

This uses cfncluster to launch. See https://sagebionetworks.jira.com/wiki/display/COMCOMP/CommonCompute for info on how to do this.

Contribute
