Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

For the staging release in bug 1251068.

Looks like we haven't updated https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/How_To/Loan_a_Slave for the switch from iX hardware to AWS instances.

Email sent to :nthomas for further instructions. 

Loaning machines: 
- b-2008-ec2-nthomas

Hi Nick, 

I am going to assign this to you to keep track of the loan. 

When you are finished with the loan forever, please comment stating so here in the bug, and mark the bug as RESOLVED.

By the way, now that this aws instance has been created, starting and stopping it can happen in a flash!
If you are not going to be using this machine for multiple hours, let us know in this bug and we can stop it.

Comment again when you want it started back up.
* For faster turnaround, ping #releng (look for nick with 'buildduty')

I'm using b-2008-ec2-0001 now (via bug 1253088), and have terminated b-2008-ec2-nthomas plus DNS cleanup.

Note for posterity - you need to remove the check_ami task from C:\opt\runner\tasks.d, otherwise your instance will be shutdown between jobs after a day or two.

No longer using, probably got decommissioned anyway.
