Amazon QuickStart (Release Candidate - March 2014)
--------------------------------------------------
Amazon just published new Docker-ready AMIs (2014.03 Release Candidate). Docker packages
can now be installed from Amazon's provided Software Repository.
1. **Choose an image:**
* Launch the `Create Instance Wizard
<https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?#LaunchInstanceWizard:>`_ menu
on your AWS Console.
* Click the ``Community AMI`` menu option on the left side
* Search for '2014.03' and select one of the Amazon provided AMI, for example ``amzn-ami-pv-2014.03.rc-0.x86_64-ebs``
* For testing you can use the default (possibly free)
``t1.micro`` instance (more info on `pricing
<http://aws.amazon.com/en/ec2/pricing/>`_).
* Click the ``Next: Configure Instance Details`` button at the bottom right.
2. After a few more standard choices where defaults are probably ok, your Amazon
Linux instance should be running!
3. SSH to your instance to install Docker : ``ssh -i <path to your private key> ec2-user@<your public IP address>``
4. Once connected to the instance, type ``sudo yum install -y docker ; sudo service docker start`` to install and start Docker
