Ah yes, using EC2 would be excellent for variable use environments and I agree that developing AMIs and VMs with a single configurable approach is something to be desired. My needs are for a relatively lightweight VM instance or appliance which I may launch for development / testing on an as-needed basis. My needs are short-term at the moment, so I will be building my VM appliance today and will report any caveats or suggestions onto the list for when an official VM is put together for general consumption.

Dan,
Currently we are making the Galaxy "appliance" available as an AMI for deployment on Amazon or Eucalyptus base cloud resources (so, Xen based). Some details on this are here: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/EC2, and we are working on the ability to automate all the setup through a Galaxy instance.
Ideally, what we would like is the ability to generate AMIs as well as other VM images using a single configurable approach. We're working on this, but would definitely appreciate any thoughts you have.
Thanks, James

Has anybody put together a pre-configured virtual machine running Galaxy (configured for development, not production) which is available for download? If not, does anybody see a use for this? I would like to begin some development on Galaxy modules but must first build a VM to run Galaxy. If one already exists, that would be great as it would save me some time. If no such VM exists, I would be more than happy to contribute one which may be made available for download. _______________________________________________ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev
