Thank you for fast reply.

But I don't solve the problem with this.

I have several questions about the solution.

Please check parts below which I wrap with ** **.

My instance is Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS (trusty).

===========================================================================================

sudo -s

apt-get update

apt-get purge linux-image-*

apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-trusty linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty

** In above step I choose replace menu.lst **

# setup kexec to actually run the kernel you chose w/ the GRUB_CMDLINE options

vi /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"

vi /etc/init.d/rcS

*** Add

http://ubergarm.github.io/ (** I'm not sure I need to add this line **)

if grep -qv ' kexeced$' /proc/cmdline ;then

kexec --load /vmlinuz --initrd=/initrd.img --append='root=LABEL=DOROOT cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 kexeced' &&

mount -o ro,remount / &&

kexec -e

echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/docker.conf

apt-get install kexec-tools

dpkg-reconfigure kexec-tools #yes/yes

# install docker (despite the old package name, lxc is optional as of 0.90)

apt-get install docker cgroup-lite lxc

# libcontainer is default, but im still running lxc for now

vi /etc/default/docker (** At this step, /etc/default/docker is not existed **)

DOCKER_OPTS="-e lxc"

** And then I reboot the instance **

===========================================================================================

After the rebooting,

output of "cat /proc/cmdline" is

===

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-91-generic root=UUID=736fad7a-387f-4420-b934-4ccbafa26d16 ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0 crashkernel=384M-:128M

Thank you,

I have included the steps below for what I did to enable cgroups on an Amazon EC2 instance. The instructions are for “saucy” but “saucy” can be replaced with whichever version of Debian/Ubuntu you are running. Hopefully this will work for you as well.

Subject: Kernel Parameter on AWS EC2

Hi,

I want to enable cgroups for Java memory issues and running multiple judgedaemons in AWS EC2 Ubuntu 14.04 Server instance.

However, I can't add "quiet cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1" since AWS EC2 doesn't use grub.

Is there any method to add kernel parameters to AWS EC2 instance?

Thanks,
Myungwoo Chun
