Hi Xiandong, I made a wiki page with the necessary steps to customize you cloud cluster instance: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Cloud/CustomizeGalaxyCloud Give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Xiandong, 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'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'd like to proceed with it?

Hello Enis,

I am Xiandong from Berkeley Lab. 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.

Thanks a lot, Xiandong
