To use this in a Buildbot configuration file, simply call the connect_to_ec2() function, which takes in as paramaters, an Amazon id key, and an Amazon secret key[[User:david.humphrey|Dave Humphrey]]

=== Release * [[Buildbot and EC2/0.2 ===1]]

* Start New Instances* Add new instances to build slave list* Start a build on an [[Buildbot and EC2 instance build slave/0.3]]

To use the * [[Buildbot and EC2 service with /0.6 | Buildbot, there needs to be some way for Buildbot to dynamically generate a list of build slavesand EC2/0. These build slaves (or just slaves) are hosted as a virtual machine on the EC2 service6/0. 7]]

This will work by extending the BuildSlave class to add in some new functionality for starting a new EC2 instance. So, every time you add a new slave to the slave list, another instance will be spwaned, so that you can spawn as many instances as you think you will need to complete a build* [[Buildbot and Testing|Tangential Testing on Buildbot Release / 0.8]]

This new BuildSlave class will start a new instance, which will then proceed to send the connection information of the master to the new instance. How exactly, I'm not exactly sure, because it takes a minute for the virtual instance to start up.  The rest basically takes care of itself. Still have to think about how to turn the new * [[Buildbot and EC2 instances off after the build is done.---- === Release /0.3 === ==== Goals ==== ==== Downloads ==== ==== About ====9]]
