• Started GSA on GSC machines.
• Fixed problem with retry mechanism when one of the machines terminates immidiatly due to Amazon EC2 Server.Error
• Fixed problem with deleting S3 bucket.
• Minimized the number of writes to S3 machinesInfo file to reduce contention.

Boot Timeout

By default any machine that is reported as "running" is expected to start the cloudtools startup script within 3 minutes. A machine that takes longer to boot is terminated and a new machine is started in its place.

You can override this timeout for all machines

<cloud-config>
   <boot-timeout-seconds>180</boot-timeout-seconds>
...
</cloud-config>

You must override and disable this feature for machines that do not run the cloudtools startup script.

<cloud-config>
   <machines>
      <raw-machine>
       <!-- Disable boot timeout feature for non-cloudtools AMIs -->. 
       <boot-timeout-seconds>0</boot-timeout-seconds>
...
      </raw-machine>
   </machines>
</cloud-config>

Load Balancer update interval

Added <update-interval-milliseconds> to load balancer that overrides the openspaces default of 10 seconds
Override to reduce the time it takes the loadbalancer to detect web PU fail over.

<cloud-config>
   <machines>
      <load-balancer-machine>
         <name>Load_Balancer</name>
         <number-of-machines>1</number-of-machines>
         <!-- Check for web PU failover every 1 second -->. 
         <update-interval-milliseconds>1000</update-interval-milliseconds>
      </load-balancer-machine>
...
   </machines>
</cloud-config>
