I guess I didn't know about the ComboAMI!
Thanks! I'll look into this.
I have been rolling my own AMIs for a simple reason -- we have
on-premises environments and in AWS. I wanted them to be the same,
structurally, so I used our on-prem configurations as a starting point.

Oleg

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.
