Running Hudson on EC2

Question

I am planning to install Hudson on Amazon EC2 using Ubuntu image. The code I am going to test does not have a big memory overhead - I will be executing mainly python unit tests.

Which EC2 instance should I use? Would micro instance be sufficient (have enough memory) or should I use a bigger instance?

Answer 1

Try running Jenkins master on a micro, however, start up a small instance for actual tests. That will give you plenty of memory and a decent CPU plus it will be cheap as well.
