AWS HPCC Service Multinode cluster specification

Wed Mar 28, 2018 9:04 pm

The AWS HPCC service sets up an HPCC cluster on m1.large instance. These instances are not EBS backed and hence cannot be stopped to change the instance type. Is there anyway to change the instance type while setting up the cluster using AWS HPCC service?

I'm assuming you are talking about what we call "Instant Cloud". If so, then there isn't away to change the instance type. But, if you have access to CloudFormation on the AWS console you can use the cloudformation templates and scripts given in the following github repository to launch an hpcc cluster on just about any instance type. The document in this repository will tell you how to use the cloudformation template and scripts:

I recommend you use the cloudformation template called MyHPCCCloudFormationTemplate.json
