It also provides the ability to mount an EBS volume to /home for persistent storage. If you're interested, give StarCluster a shot, it's Open Source and freely available: http://web.mit.edu/starcluster Hi, I’ve created a project, called StarCluster that creates Sun Grid Engine clusters on Amazon EC2 and auto configures things like nfs mounting /home, passwordless ssh, OpenMPI, configuring scratch space.

I'm trying to get sge running with ec2 and can't figure out the necessary host_aliases tricks. Right now I'm just trying to get a qmaster and execd running on the same machine. Thanks!
