You can add a server hosted on Amazon EC2 on the Servers page. Note that this feature is deprecated and will be removed from version 8.0.

    • "ec2:Describe*",
    • "ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress",
    • "ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupEgress",
    • "ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress",
    • "ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress",
    • "ec2:TerminateInstances",
    • "ec2:DeleteTags",
    • "ec2:StartInstances",
    • "ec2:CreateTags",
    • "ec2:RunInstances",
    • "ec2:StopInstances"
    For more information, see the online Amazon EC2 documentation.
  • If you wish to use your own Amazon Machine Images (AMI), it must include an Oracle JDK or OpenJDK, Unzip as well as a JobServer installed as a service to enable task deployment on the Amazon cloud.
