Cool :) https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI is the DataStax AMI repo.
What I would like to accomplish as an end-goal is an Amazon marketplace AMI that makes it easy to configure a new Cassandra cluster or add new nodes to an existing Cassandra cluster, w/o having to jump through hoops. Ideally I'd like to do for Cassandra what RDS does for PostgreSQL in AWS, for instance, but I am not sure if ultimately it is possible.
Is there something that ComboAMI doesn't cover for your needs or is there some area that could be improved upon?
To get started, I shared some notes in the wiki as well as a couple of scripts I used to simplify things for myself. I put those scripts together from input I received on the #cassandra IRC channel and this mailing list and I am very greatful to the community for helping me through this -- so this is my contribution back. Consider this email as a solicitation for help. I am open to discussions, and contributions, and suggestions, anything you can help with.
Would it be less overall work to implement changes you'd like to see by contributing them to ComboAMI?
I fully support lots of variations of tools - whatever makes things easiest for people to do exactly what they need, or in languages they're comfortable with, etc.
