using Amazons Elastic Block storage and EC2 to generate a build

Ben Bailey3

Hello,

I am trying to create a daily build for our Anroid app. I want bamboo builder to do this:

1. Start an Amazon elastic machine up (a Microsoft windows machine)
2. Load Elastic block storage that I define onto that machine
3. run the standard build process (sync files from source control, ANT build, etc)

I understand how to do step 1 & 3... but I dont know how to:

• Create a block storage drive and put specific files that I want in that storage
• Load that drive up in step 2 above

Does anyone know how to do this?

I found out the problem. The EBS was being loaded... but it wasnt being activated.

If you read the second half of these instructions, you will see you need to bring your new disk "online"
