Amazon Machine Image for News Crawler

Prerequisites

  • build the News Crawler
  • install packer

Build the AMI

The Amazon machine image for the news crawler is based on the Amazon Linux AMI, HVM (SSD), ebs-backed, 64-bit, us-east-1.

To build the image, run from the root directory of the News Crawler project:

packer build aws/packer/newscrawl-ami.json

Run an EC2 instance

The news crawler AMI should be registered on your AWS account. Select it to launch an EC2 instance.
