Amazon EC2

The Halon platform runs on Amazon EC2.

Launching the image

To launch it, you can either download the "raw" image and write it to the root (/dev/xvda) disk of a HVM machine yourself, or use our public AMIs.

For other regions, please copy the AMI yourself by selecting "Public images" in the drop-down for the search bar under "Images -> AMI" and then search for the ID listed above. After that, click on the "Actions" drop-down and then "Copy AMI".
