Situation

Set up QuickBuild the same as tutorial One Build For One Agent, except that build agents should be started in EC2 as necessary. Launched build agents should be able to be closed if they are idle for specified amount of time to save cost.

Resolution

  1. Set up QuickBuild according to resolution section of tutorial One Build For One Agent.
  2. Login to QuickBuild as administrator and switch to administration menu, then follow the plugin management link, and edit plugin setting of Amazon EC2 Plugin to provide a file containing your EC2 access keys.
  3. Switch to grid page and follow the Cloud Profiles link to bring out the cloud profiles page. Add a cloud profile with node launch setting specified as Launch Node into Amazon EC2 and fill relevant EC2 node launch options. Specifically the AMI ID should be filled with the identifier of the AMI you created in above step.
