Hi Anatoliy, If you're going to keep that cluster alive continuously, just set it up as per the page whose link you provided and you should be ok. If you plan on having multiple users have their own cloud clusters with Galaxy, you'll probably want to do what I suggested in my previous email.
Good luck, Enis

Hi. Thanks for your help!
At the moment, we have organized a system like this: In the cloud OpenStack running several virtual machines (on them built virtual cluster torqui (with scheduler maui)) and the Galaxy set for cluster(http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster).
We need Galaxy for large biological data quickly (faster than a stand alone machine).
Maybe we do not understand something?
Best regards, Anatoly

Yes there is, the setup is just not documented very well at this point...
Also, are you familiar with the cloud concepts or just looking to use Galaxy?
The basic approach is to setup a CloudMan (usecloudman.org) machine image on the local cloud (using the image building process from https://github.com/chapmanb/cloudbiolinux is the recommended method). Install Galaxy as well as all of its tools, dependencies, and reference data on the appropriate block storage volumes and turn those into snapshots (see this paper for the architecture overview http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpe.1836/full and then Galaxy's wiki (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin) for the details on how to set everything up). Beyond that, it's a matter of making sure it all works as desired on your setup. You'll probably also want to use a version of the code similar to https://github.com/chapmanb/biocloudcentral to launch instances because for the non-amazon case, the user data ( http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/CloudMan/UserData) required by an instance is a bit tedious to compose by hand (the user data link just explains what the user data is but the full set of user data fields required for non-amazon clouds is not yet documented - I'll do that soon).
Hope this helps. I'm also CCing the galaxy-dev mailing list because others may be interested in this topic as well. Enis

Hi Enis! In our institute we process biological data. And we have cloud, based on OpenStack. We want to use the Galaxy in the cloud (OpenStack). Are there any solutions for this? (or just Amazon)
Thank you so much for the Galaxy! :) And sorry for my English.
