Ami for setting up ec2 instance for emretlrunner

For engineers
1

Hi there,

can anyone help me with the following, I’m trying to set up an EC2 instance for an EmrEtlRunner (following the wiki https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Setting-up-EC2-instance-for-EmrEtlRunner-and-StorageLoader) but the specified ami id (ami-60b6c60a) does not exist, probably because I’m on region europe-west-1 (Ireland) and not us-west (Oregon).
Anyone got any id what ami I can use to launch this instance?
Thanks…

@Anske, to set up EC2 for EmrEtlRunner, you can start from this wiki page instead: https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/setting-up-EmrEtlrunner. You do not need any specific AMI for that.

Thanks Ihor.

That’s exactly the guide that I’m following.
It leads to https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/1-Installing-EmrEtlRunner for installation.
This wiki then refers to https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Setting-up-EC2-instance-for-EmrEtlRunner-and-StorageLoader for setting up the EC2 instance for the EmrEtlRunner. In section 5 (Run t2.small instance with Amazon Linux AMI with previously created SSH-key) of this wiki the AWS CLI is used to set up an instance from an image id.
This does not work for the given image id, so I will try setting it up from the AWS web UI instead, following their guide (select an HVM version of Amazon Linux 2 ami) …

@Anske, you can refer to this AWS guide for available image IDs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/finding-an-ami.html.
