Has anyone modified Eucalyptus to have more VM types besides the default five {m1.small, c1.medium, m1.large, m1.xlarge, c1.xlarge}? I want to have a special purpose one which has a different disk/CPU/RAM mix. Also, is there some way to override the "(Make sure values in each column are ordered.)" message from the Eucalyptus interface? The reason I as is that I am willing to sacrifice one VM Type in our setup, but I don't want all of the columns to be ordered. Is the ordering important for the scheduler or is it just an arbitrary restriction?
Thanks,
Dave
Hello Dave,
yes, they need to be ordered because of the way the scheduler works.

Is it possible to set the number of CPU's in a type to less than 1 - say .25 or .5?

No, if over provisioning is what you wish to do, you can set MAX_CORES in eucalyptus.conf on the node.
Any one knows whether and how it is possible to define more than 5 types of VM?
Thanks,
Matteo
Hello,
currenlty we only provide 5 types (they are the ones you can find in EC2 too).

So I take it that means I cannot add additional types?
You can use/modify 5 types, but cannot add more currently. We are considering this enhancement for a future release.
