h3. Configure CloudVMs
-Add or update the following portions of your cluster configuration file, @config.yml@. Refer to "config.defaults.yml":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html for information about additional configuration options. The @DispatchPrivateKey@ should be the *private* key generated in "the previous section":install-compute-node.html#sshkeypair.

h3(#GPUsupport). NVIDIA GPU support
-To specify instance types with NVIDIA GPUs, you must include an additional @CUDA@ section:
+To specify instance types with NVIDIA GPUs, "the compute image must be built with CUDA support":install-compute-node.html#nvidia , and you must include an additional @CUDA@ section:
<notextile>
<pre><code> InstanceTypes:
The @DriverVersion@ is the version of the CUDA toolkit installed in your compute image (in X.Y format, do not include the patchlevel). The @HardwareCapability@ is the CUDA compute capability of the GPUs available for this instance type. The @DeviceCount@ is the number of GPU cores available for this instance type.
+h3(#aws-ebs-autoscaler). EBS Autoscale configuration
+
+See "Autoscaling compute node scratch space":install-compute-node.html#aws-ebs-autoscaler for details about compute image configuration.
+
+The @Containers.InstanceTypes@ list should be modified so that all @AddedScratch@ lines are removed, and the @IncludedScratch@ value should be set to 5 TB. This way, the scratch space requirements will be met by all the defined instance type. For example:
+
+<notextile><pre><code> InstanceTypes:
+ c5large:
+ ProviderType: c5.large
+ VCPUs: 2
+ RAM: 4GiB
+ IncludedScratch: 5TB
+ Price: 0.085
+ m5large:
+ ProviderType: m5.large
+ VCPUs: 2
+ RAM: 8GiB
+ IncludedScratch: 5TB
+ Price: 0.096
+...
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+You will also need to create an IAM role in AWS with these permissions:
+
+<notextile><pre><code>{
+ "Statement": [
+ {
+ "Effect": "Allow",
+ "Action": [
+ "ec2:AttachVolume",
+ "ec2:DescribeVolumeStatus",
+ "ec2:DescribeVolumes",
+ "ec2:DescribeTags",
+ "ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute",
+ "ec2:DescribeVolumeAttribute",
+ "ec2:CreateVolume",
+ "ec2:DeleteVolume",
+ "ec2:CreateTags"
+ ],
+ "Resource": "*"
+ }
+ ]
+}
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Then set @Containers.CloudVMs.DriverParameters.IAMInstanceProfile@ to the name of the IAM role. This will make @arvados-dispatch-cloud@ pass an IAM instance profile to the compute nodes when they start up, giving them sufficient permissions to attach and grow EBS volumes.

h3. AWS Credentials for Local Keepstore on Compute node
-When @Containers/LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ is non-zero, the compute node will spin up a local Keepstore service for faster storage access. If Keep is backed by S3, the compute node will need to be able to access the S3 bucket.
+When @Containers.LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ is non-zero, the compute node will spin up a local Keepstore service for direct storage access. If Keep is backed by S3, the compute node will need to be able to access the S3 bucket.
-If the AWS credentials for S3 access are configured in @config.yml@ (i.e. @Volumes/DriverParameters/AccessKeyID@ and @Volumes/DriverParameters/SecretAccessKey@), these credentials will be made available to the local Keepstore on the compute node to access S3 directly and no further configuration is necessary.

-Alternatively, if an IAM role is configured in @config.yml@ (i.e. @Volumes/DriverParameters/IAMRole@), the name of an instance profile that corresponds to this role ("often identical to the name of the IAM role":https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html#ec2-instance-profile) must be configured in the @CloudVMs/DriverParameters/IAMInstanceProfile@ parameter.

-Finally, if @config.yml@ does not have @Volumes/DriverParameters/AccessKeyID@, @Volumes/DriverParameters/SecretAccessKey@ or @Volumes/DriverParameters/IAMRole@ defined, Keepstore uses the IAM role attached to the node, whatever it may be called. The @CloudVMs/DriverParameters/IAMInstanceProfile@ parameter must then still be configured with the name of a profile whose IAM role has permission to access the S3 bucket(s). That way, @arvados-dispatch-cloud@ can attach the IAM role to the compute node as it is created.
+*If you are also using EBS Autoscale feature, the role in IAMInstanceProfile must have both ec2 and s3 permissions.*
