As I mentioned in this article on running the Pentaho Demo on EC2, according to a recent presentation, Pentaho has the ability to be clustered using JBoss Clustering (JBoss JGroups), JBoss AS and Apache.
This post is to outline the background documentation I am using to give this cluster a go on EC2.
There are some posts indicating that the lack of multicasting with EC2 is a issue, however comments and the doco suggest that it will revert to TCP, although that is slower.
Given I already have Pentaho installed and saved as an AMI, I am going to build on that to make the single node. The documentation and wikis confident that it should auto discover and be a piece of cake, however we shall see.
Have Fun

Hi Paul,
Have you shared the AMI with the Pentaho BI server setup anywhere ? I am in the process of setting up the ETL process, data warehouse and the Pentaho BI server on EC2. The AMI could serve as a good starting point.
note : Pentaho Data Integration 3.2 AMI is available : ami-f63ed99f
Thanks
Vijay
Thanks for the info Vijay.
I will go and check out the AMI.
As for Pentaho BI Server AMI, no I haven't shared an AMI.
The Pentaho Demo software was a easy, seamless install and use.
It is aimed at testing on Windows or Linux desktop.
I am keen to see how you go, maybe you should publish off your website as well.
Have Fun
