Amazon VPC
I'm moving most of my instances into Amazon VPC, and as far as I can tell, that means I can't launch them from within Ylastic. If that's the case, are you going to be adding support for VPC launching in the near future?
And if not, how do I launch instances in my VPC with Ylastic?

Yes. That is what we are working on.
thanks!

Thanks for all your hard work guys. Do we have an ETA yet as to when we could expect this functionality?

We are hoping to have VPC in production in a few weeks.

That's great news! I'm definitely waiting for it.

Update: We are getting close to releasing VPC support. Posting a screenshot of the main VPCs page ( work in-progress). The idea is to enable you to view and manage all aspects of a VPC from the same page. Would love to hear any other pain points that you guys currently have with VPC, which we can add to Ylastic.
thanks!

Hey guys, that looks great!! I'm wondering, will some of the more vital VPC information (security groups, private IPs, elastic IPs, VPC IDs) be available when I go to the EC2 page? I like being able to view all of my instances on one page, but have that granular detail available to me. (I have multiple VPCs and standalone EC2 instances I manage).
Also, will I be able to perform the more Ylastic-standard functionality from within the Instances tab of the VPC section? i.e. - Performing and tracking backups?

Could you please clarify this? Do you mean seeing VPC instances in the instances page in the EC2 section? Current idea is that you can view ALL instances in the EC2 section, while the instances page in the VPC section will only show VPC instances.
Yes, you will be able to do all instance related stuff for VPC instances too on the VPC instances page.

Yes I'd like to be able to see ALL of my instances on the EC2 page, but it is my belief that you should add some extra columns so that VPC related information is displayed on the EC2 page. Some of the most common things I am looking at constantly are what I mentioned above, private IPs, elastic IPs, VPC IDs.
I think that info should be available on the EC2 page.

Yes. We will add a VPC id also to the columns. You will also be able to filter instances by VPC.
It does seem as though adding another instance page under VPC section would be redundant. Most users would probably like to view ALL instances.

I think that the best use-case for an Instance page under the VPC section would be:
a) Choose the 'active' VPC that you wish to work with,
b) See instances particularly associated with that VPC.
But yes, I agree that MOST of the time I look at 'ALL' of my Instances.

Any update on VPC feature becoming available? I'll take a beta release too. :)

We have added about 12 new pages for the various VPC resources. Have two more left. Hoping to have it in production Monday.
thanks!
