Adding storage
The next step is selecting the storage. The Ubuntu image comes with 8 GB of root
drive, and that is too little for anything; choose 30 GB for now. Remember that each
1 GB costs 5 cents per month at current prices, so for hours, and even days, that is
negligible.
By now, you might be asking yourself, where does Mark know all this from? I will
give you the two references now, and I will also repeat them at the end of the chapter
(for the benefit of those who like to peek at the end). As I have already told you, I
run Hadoop/HBase training, and our labs are all open source. Please have a look
at
https://github.com/hadoop-illuminated/HI-labs
for more details. More
specifically, in the admin labs, in the
Managers
section (and that means Hadoop,
not human managers), you will find the instructions in brief (
https://github.
com/hadoop-illuminated/HI-labs/tree/master/hadoop-admin/managers/
cloudera-cm)
. In turn, it refers to the Cloudera blog post found at
http://blog.
cloudera.com/blog/2013/03/how-to-create-a-cdh-cluster-on-amazon-ec2-
via-cloudera-manager/
. However, none of these instructions are as complete as
this chapter, so save them for future use.
