ASM (Amazon Science Machine)

ASM (Amazon Science Machine) launches an AWS EC2 Linux machine with pre-compiled scientific software and good defaults for scientists. You can choose from the latest Amazon Linux, Redhat Enterprise (Rocky) or Ubuntu LTS. Your SSH keys will be generated automatically and if your sysadmin has setup a DNS zone you will also get a DNS name. You will be prompted for a storage location (S3 bucket) which will be mounted at /mnt/[bucket-name] as a quasi-filesystem using rclone. There is also a test file system using JuiceFS

Install:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dirkpetersen/asm/main/install.sh | bash

Config (for example setup the S3 bucket to use):

asm config 

Launch:
