*We just released an update to Galaxy CloudMan.* CloudMan offers an easy way to get a personal and completely functional instance of Galaxy in the cloud in just a few minutes, without any manual configuration.

This is mostly an incremental bug fix release with the following summary of changes:

-

On AWS, updated *galaxyFS* snapshot (snap-e6e1c04a), which includes the June 2, 2014 Galaxy release with the July 30th security fix. All the tools installed via the Tool Shed have been updated and a number of new tools added, most notably: Tophat2, Bowtie2, FastQC, several FASTQ manipulation tools, several QC tools. -

For AWS, added support for VPC -

For OpenStack clouds, added the ability to automatically recover worker instances on cluster reboot -

Added support for creating a file system based on a downloadable archive -

Do not run Galaxy with multiple processes by default. This is because Tool Shed installs do not work properly in the multi-process mode. This feature can be enabled by setting user data option configure_multiple_galaxy_processes to True when launching an instance. -

Set SGE slots in each queue to be equal to the number of cores on the instance -

Set instance IP in the Galaxy's FTP data upload tool message -

Added support for Nginx v1.4 and allow it (with the PAM module) to used as the authentication mechanism when accessing Galaxy Reports app -

Fixed cluster deletion when performed via the API -

No longer automatically start Hadoop and HTCondor services -

On manually-invoked instance reboots, do not increment the instance reboot count that otherwise eventually leads to instance termination -

Limit the size of the log message buffer used in the UI to 1000 lines. Long-running instances had issues with this log growing large and that led to poor UI performance. The complete log is still available from the Admin page (or the command line). -

Automatically delete the bucket/container for Test type (*ie*, 'SGE only') clusters on cluster termination
