[Sheepdog] Sheepdog on Amazon EC2 How to ?

[Fernando Frediani (Qube)]

Hi JD Wilson,

Not sure why would you run Sheepdog on Amazon EC2. I might be wrong on my assumptions but Sheepdog is distributed storage for QEMU/Linux-KVM and therefore only works to run Virtual Machines Disk Images.
Given Amazon EC2 are already VMs running on the top of Xen wouldn’t be logical to run QEMU/Linux-KVM inside them.

Are you trying to use it just for learning/testing or are you looking to get something more like GlusterFS and have a partition mounted ?

Fernando

Have been a sheepdog mailing list subscriber since November of last year.

I am always watching to see if someone has deployed Sheepdog on Amazon EC2; and lived to tell about it ;-)

It seems possible it was in there somewhere and I missed it.

May I trouble for guidance for Sheepdog on Amazon EC2; perhaps a best practices, or list of steps, or a how to cookbook.

Thank you in advance for the group's time and attention if this is posted.
