Scipion Cloud for training

AWS for Scipion training

Creating AWS instances for training

Only AWS admin user can do that, but these are the steps.

• Login to AWS console
• Go to EC2 services
• Select AMIs on the left side menu
• Select i2pc-training-2 and click on Launch

• Choose the instance type appropriate for the training. For the usual Workflow (ExtendedBetagal) we normally use p2.xlarge (GPU).
• Click ‘Next: Configure instance details’ and select the number of instances to be created.
• Click ‘Next: Add Storage’ and specify the disk size (30 GB by default).
• Click ‘Next: Add tags’ and specify the following tags:

(UserName must be i2pc-training but Name can be chosen, although it must contain the word training).

• Click ‘Next: Configure Security group’ and select the one named ‘https+ssh’.

It is advised to modify this setting to set up an IP range when possible.

• Click on ‘Review and launch’ and press ‘Launch’. A pop-up window will appear to select a security key pair.
