Installing resque on amazon ec2 instances

  • 772

My problem is to process images through ec2 instances.

Based this similar question: Separate server for Resque workers

And in this article: http://highscalability.com/blog/2009/11/6/product-resque-githubs-distrubuted-job-queue.html

I'm planning to have distributed workers around ec2 instances, lets say 3. But I havent figured out the right way to do this.

My doubts are:

  1. I have to install resque on each amazon ec2 instance?
  2. If yes, they have to share a single redis server or each one can have their own?
  3. Is that right to use SQS and each intance will listen this global queue and process my incoming files?

Thanks a lot if you guys can help!

  1. You will need to install resque to each instance, but they can use a single Redis server to pull work from. The Resque pool-master on each instance will track the list of queues it's configured to poll, and will spin up workers based on what it pulls.
