3 CSIT Amazon Machine Images
4 --------------------------
6 An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) provides the information required to
7 launch an instance. CSIT is using Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) where
8 the root device for an instance launched from the AMI is a volume
9 created from an Amazon EBS snapshot.
11 A the TG and SUT instances have slightly different software
12 requirements, we are defining two AMIs for TG and SUT separately. AMI
17 - AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_tg
18 - Platform details: Linux/UNIX
19 - Architecture: x86_64
20 - Usage operation: RunInstances
22 - Virtualization type: hvm
23 - Description: CSIT TG image based on Ubuntu Focal
24 - Root Device Name: /dev/sda1
25 - Root Device Type: ebs
29 - AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_sut
30 - Platform details: Linux/UNIX
31 - Architecture: x86_64
32 - Usage operation: RunInstances
34 - Virtualization type: hvm
35 - Description: CSIT SUT image based on Ubuntu Focal
36 - Root Device Name: /dev/sda1
37 - Root Device Type: ebs
39 Both TG and SUT AMIs are created manually before launching topology and are not
40 part of automated scripts. To create CSIT AMIs:
44 cd csit/fdio.infra.packer/aws_c5n/
48 Building AMIs requires Hashicorp Packer with Amazon plugin installed.
