Silly me, it was a Security Group issue; I was doing the manual ssh test
from my desktop but the workstation creating the server is on a different
subnet. When I updated the security group everything progressed normally.

Thanks very much for all the suggestions, though!

Hi,

I'm trying to bootstrap nodes in EC2 using knife as follows:

knife ec2 server create --flavor m1.large -I ami-1b814f72 -G DevOps -S

DevOps -N foobar -x ec2-user -i /tmp/DevOps.pem -V -V

but it hangs with the following output:

If, however, I manually log in to the instance everything seems available:

Doh! adding [solved] to the subject removed it from my threaded email view, so I didn't see this message until I after I replied...
