How do I set the root_device_type when creating an EC2 instance using Rubber?
I see that after creation of the instance, the serialized instance object has root_device_type as instance-store. I want to create an instance runs in an EBS.
They provide docs and sample config to create EBS volumes and mount it onto the instance but no documentation on how to create an EBS instance.
Thanks!
Phew! finally found how to change the configuration. Found this line the sample rubber.yml.
# REQUIRED: the ami and instance type for creating instances
# The Ubuntu images at http://alestic.com/ work well
# Ubuntu 12.04 Precise instance-store 64-bit: ami-eafa5883
#
# m1.small or m1.large or m1.xlarge
image_type: c1.medium
image_id: ami-eafa5883
Went over to alestic.com, got an AMI id for EBS Ubuntu 12.04 and thats it! :) (ami-51821b6b)
Would be nice if there was better documentation of this. Especially for people like me who are coming from DO and other hosts to EC2.
