Hi Ric,

My guess is you are not running aminator on an ec2 instance (the exception is aminator trying to connect to the ec2 metadata service). The main purpose of aminator is to produce ami images for ec2 and to do this it has to be run on an ec2 instance. There are a few plugins (https://github.com/aminator-plugins) which allow it to be run with eucalyptus for example, but the default is ec2.

There is obviously a bug where "aminate -h" should produce useful information and not throw an exception like you are seeing, so we will try to get that fixed.

Hi Cory, correct I am using the Aminator oustdie the EC2.

I was hoping I can use it to "bake" my own AMI and deploy it to AWS.

I tried using AMI tools which in general seems to work but to make your own image to boot correctly is a hell as you have to convince the AWS-grub to work with your image ... which is lot of guessing - right kernel, right disk ramdisk and root fs layout ... etc .. Anyway, thank you for explanation. Now I know that I wanted to use Aminator for something it wasn't designed for.

Basically aminator applies custom data (via chef, yum, apt, etc) over a pre-existing base os AMI. As you noted, creating the initial base os AMI is a pain. We have a wiki page here: https://github.com/Netflix/aminator/wiki/Creation-of-an-Ubuntu-12.04-foundation-AMI It might provide some tips, but that document is really a work in progress and not complete.

Once you get a base os then aminator can help you iterate on that base to create custom application stacks for your deployments.

Yep, saw it, work in progress as you say :). Anyway thank you very much for explanation - I was following the wrong direction.
