With a configured EC2 Tools environment, now it’s time to create an AppScale image.
If not already there, SSH into the Vagrant box:
vagrant ssh
Then go into the appscale-tools repository:
cd /srv/appscale/repo/appscale-tools
From here you can bootstrap the image creation process using the command:
./bin/appscale-bootstrap
For more information on this command simply run it with the -h flag:
./bin/appscale-bootstrap -h
This command will take a while to run. Once it’s complete, you will see in the last few lines of the log the instance id and the image id that was created.
NOTE: The bootstrap script does not currently terminate the instance that is created in order to make an AppScale image. Please terminate it once you are done.
