Make sure time is set properly - needed when talking to Amazon EC2:
% sudo sh /etc/rc.d/ntpd stop
ntpd not running? (check /var/run/ntpd.pid).
% sudo sh /etc/rc.d/ntpdate restart
Setting date via ntp.
% sudo sh /etc/rc.d/ntpd start
Starting ntpd.
% date
Sat Mar 16 16:46:19 CET 2013
Teach our EC2 SSH key to SSH agent, so we don't have to type a
password (which we don't know anyways - EC2 only works with SSH
keys):
% ssh-add -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
%
% eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 10467
% ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.
% ssh-add ../../euca2ools/key-eucaHF.pem
Identity added: ../../euca2ools/key-eucaHF.pem (../../euca2ools/key-eucaHF.pem)
% ssh-add -l
2048 d5:25:19:3d:59:40:35:32:03:f7:c5:83:de:19:b6:d0 ../../euca2ools/key-eucaHF.pem (RSA)
Check security (firewall) groups - those are stored in EC2, and
we
have previously
set them up:
% euca-describe-groups
...
GROUP sg-a854b3c3 749335780469 ec2-webservers Web servers
PERMISSION 749335780469 ec2-webservers ALLOWS tcp 22 22 FROM CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
PERMISSION 749335780469 ec2-webservers ALLOWS tcp 80 80 FROM CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
PERMISSION 749335780469 ec2-webservers ALLOWS icmp -1 -1 FROM CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
See if there are any EC2 instances running:
% euca-describe-instances
%
No - that's fine, we are about to change that!
Run first playbook to launch EC2 instance and prepare it for
using with ansible:
% ansible-playbook -i hosts-HF config-ec2-prepare1vm.yml

We now have a EC2 instance running that has Ansible installed:
% euca-describe-instances

INSTANCE i-9fafc2f2 ami-5d0f8034 ec2-107-22-69-112.compute-1.amazonaws.com ...
With this EC2 instance, we can do some basic preparations for our
standards, e.g. a login without requiring root (and while there, actually
disable allowing as root), setup sudo and a proper shell:
% env ANSIBLE_HOSTS=./ec2.py ansible-playbook config-ec2-basic.yml

Let's have a look if things actually work:
% ssh 107.22.69.112 id
uid=1000(feyrer) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(wheel)
% ssh ec2-107-22-69-112.compute-1.amazonaws.com id

uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),2(kmem),3(sys),4(tty),5(operator),20(staff),31(guest)
Next, install database software and import our demo database, just
as we did in out local VM:

Again, let's see if everything works as expected:
