[aws] How to run t2.micro?


Dr Nic Williams
 

I wanted a cheap AWS vm for our VPC so I tried using t2.micro. I was using
HVM stemcell. But I get the following AWS error:

Started creating bound missing vms > small_z1/0. Failed: The requested
configuration is currently not supported. Please check the documentation
for supported configurations. (00:00:01)

From googling, the only constraints I can find are: use VPC, use HVM AMIs.

Anyone have a protip on deploying t2.micros?

We are deploying to t2.smalls and it works fine.... Is it just in t2.micros
that it fails?

t2.micro was what I tried and it failed

Hmm, tried t2.small and it failed too as above.

My manifest is https://gist.github.com/drnic/0ee3335b0c0d435861e6 -
anything you can spot I'm missing? Thanks for the help.

Can you try adding an ephemeral disk? We had issues before with HVM
instances that have no default ephemeral disk...

Here is our manifest:

Right. t2 series do not have ephemeral disks and that's why you have to add
ephemeral disk configuration in cloud_properties, but DrNic's error seems
to happen earlier than creation of a VM.

Why not try with latest version of that stemcell?
https://bosh.io/stemcells/bosh-aws-xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent ( 3048 )

In list of versions, no release notes...

I wonder why it has "light" in its name.

I use t2.micro stemcells all the time, but I only deploy with bosh-init,
not bosh.
