[Lustre-discuss] Lustre & Amazon EC2 w/EBS

[Nick Jennings]

Hi All,

  I've been reading a lot about EC2 and EBS from Amazon (it sounds 
awesome!). I am considering this as a solution to our companies severe 
growing pains and minimal operations budget. I've got an account (though 
have not done anything but use s3 for backups so far) and was thinking 
of running some tests with Lustre on a few EC2 nodes, with a few EBS 
pools, all clustered together to one shareable filesystem.

  I wanted to put some feelers out there, I'm wondering if anyone has 
had any experience with this? I didn't see any lustre-related AMIs in 
the "Community AMIs" tab, but that doesn't say much.

  Any comments, links, experiences welcome!
Thanks,
-Nick
