Create a ServerTemplate

Objective

To create your own ServerTemplate for launching new instances on Amazon EC2.

Go to Design -> ServerTemplates and click New.

Next you will provide some basic information about your new ServerTemplate. 

• Nickname – A short nickname that helps you recognize the template.
• Description – A short description of the template (for internal use only)
• Image - the Amazon Machine Image (AMI).  Select the image that will be used to build and launch instances from this template. We recommend using the most recent version of our RightImage. Warning: You can select a different image, but we will not be able to provide any support for you and you will not be able to use any RightScripts of your own.
• Kernal image - The kernal that you want to use for your instance. (Optional)
• Ramdisk image - The ramdisk that you want to use for your image. (Optional)
• Instance type – describes the size of the EC2 instance (ex: m1.small, m1.large). Be sure to select the appropriate image that supports your instance type. (ex: m1.large, m1xlarge, and c1.xlarge instance types must use a 64-bit image like "RightImage CentOS5_0X86_64V??"). Be sure to check Amazon EC2 Instance Types for the latest instance types and charges.
• EC2 user data – Data to be passed into the instances using the EC2 user launch data (limited to 16KB). This field is rarely used but can be useful during development to pass configuration values into the instance at boot or runtime.
