Hi Xiandong, <div>Yes, it is possible to run a customized Galaxy instance and also use your own tools on the cloud but there is a bit of a process. Namely, you will need to install the tools by hand, create required EBS volume snapshots, and changing some configuration files in your cluster&#39;s S3 bucket. I can work on a wiki page on how to achieve this over the coming days and guide you through the process, if you&#39;d like to proceed with it?</div>

I just read the tutorial about how to run Galaxy Instance on Amazon. I was wondering if it is possible to run customized Galaxy Instance with our own tools on Amazon. It seems that I can run a predefined AMI only. <br>

<br>Thanks a lot,<br><font color="#888888">Xiandong<br><br>
