Launch an i3.xlarge using Lunar (ubuntu-minimal/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-lunar-23.04-amd64-minimal-20231207). This is a daily image, so you may need to use a more recent version (the old ones become unavailable over time).
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mit-pdos/daisy-nfsd/main/eval/aws/setup-image.sh
Run bash setup-image.sh [--no-fscq]
Will take 5 minutes with --no-fscq, 20 minutes if including FSCQ dependencies.
Stop instance
Select instance and click on Actions > Images and templates > Create image
Name image daisy-eval-run
This takes several minutes (due to taking a snapshot)
Make sure to deregister old AMI and delete its snapshot (this has a monthly storage cost)
Boot from AMI - need to set instance type (i3.metal), change to spot instance, and set security group to something that allows port 22 (for SSH access)
Run aws-setup.sh first
Run eval.sh
Download the results: rsync -az ubuntu@$ip:./daisy-nfsd/eval/data/ eval/data/aws/
