For those who use Amazon EC2 service and were anxious about having XtraDB ready to launch there is a good news.

We created a public AMI (Amazon Machine Image) with XtraDB release 8 installed on CentOS 5.3.

How to use it.

First make sure it is avaiable.

CODE:
  1. $ ec2-describe-images ami-4701e22e
  2. IMAGE   ami-4701e22e    xtradb/centos-5.3-x86_64.fs.manifest.xml        834362721059    available       public          x86_64  machine
  3. $

Run it. It is built for x86_64 plaform, so allowed types are m1.large, m1.xlarge and c1.xlarge

CODE:
  1. $ ec2-run-instances ami-4701e22e -t m1.large
  2. RESERVATION     r-46b3432e      834362721059    default
  3. INSTANCE        i-ecc74084      ami-4701e22e                    pending         0               m1.large        2009-10-25T18:31:06+0000        us-east-1c

Wait till the instance starts
