Doublecheck that your DevOps security group has your IP authorized for SSH.

I ran "knife ec2 server create -f m1.large -I ami-1b814f72 -G default -S mykey -N foobar -x ec2-user -V -V" and it hung on SSH, then I remembered that my default group only allows inter-ec2 communication.

This worked for me "knife ec2 server create -f m1.large -I ami-1b814f72 -G default,management -S mykey -N foobar -x ec2-user -V -V"

I use ssh-add to store my ssh key for ease of use.

How long are you waiting for sshd to come up there? It can take a minute or more.

Hi,

I'm trying to bootstrap nodes in EC2 using knife as follows:

# knife ec2 server create --flavor m1.large -I ami-1b814f72 -G DevOps -S DevOps -N foobar -x ec2-user -i /tmp/DevOps.pem -V -V

but it hangs with the following output:

If, however, I manually log in to the instance everything seems available:

$ ssh -i DevOps.pem " target="_blank">

Is there any way to get more debugging information from knife? Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Thanks,
