An elastic image is an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that is stored in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). An elastic image is used to create elastic instances, which in turn create elastic agents. Conceptually, the elastic image can be considered to be the boot hard disk that contains the operating system and software run on your elastic instances.

You can only associate one elastic image with a Bamboo server at a time. One default shared image is maintained by Atlassian in the Amazon S3, and is available to all Elastic Bamboo users.

An image is similar to an agent, hence the 'Image' page closely resembles the 'Agent' page. A number of functions available for agents are also available for images.

To view an image,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Image' link in the left navigation column under the 'Elastic Bamboo' sub-header. The 'Elastic Image' page will display (see screenshot below).
    • AMI ID — this is the Amazon Machine Image identifier that uniquely identifies your image.
    • Current Instances — this field displays how many elastic instances are currently running for your Bamboo installation.
    • 'Manage Instances of this Image' — click this link to view your elastic instances.
    • 'Reload default capabilities' — click this link to refresh the capabilities of your image, if you have customised them.
