TAP::Harness::Remote::EC2 - Run tests on EC2 servers
prove --harness TAP::Harness::Remote::EC2 t/*.t
Based on TAP::Harness::Remote, this module uses your running Amazon EC2 instances (http://amazon.com/ec2) to run tests against, instead of a preconfigured list of hosts.
Configuration is much the same as TAP::Harness::Remote, except the configuration file lives in /.remote_test_ec2 -- see "CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT". Note the TAP::Harness::Remote::EC2 does not, at current, start EC2 hosts itself, nor differentiate in any way between running EC2 hosts; it attempts to connect and run tests on all currently running EC2 hosts.
Loads and canonicalizes the configuration. Writes and uses the default configuration ("default_config") if the file does not exist.
The configuration is stored in ~/.remote_test_ec2, and is mostly identical to the configuration of TAP::Harness::Remote (see "CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT" in TAP::Harness::Remote), with the following differences:
hosts parameter is ignored, and produces a warning if present.access_key amd secret_access_key parameters are required, to be able to query the Amazon EC2 interface and determine the running EC2 hosts. You can find your access keys at https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/account/index.html?action=access-keyThe default perl installed Amazon's provided EC2 images is extremely slow (about 4x slower than a clean, optimized build). We thus strongly suggest you compile your own.
In the future, TAP::Harness::Remote::EC2 may provide configuration options so that it can start and stop testing instances on demand.
