Welcome back to Part 2 of the Using iPXE + Pure Cloud Block Store (CBS) for Stateless EC2. In the first part of the series we covered getting all the details ready, Part 2 will dive deeper into the AWS and Pure Storage ecosystem to get an EC2 instance deployed running on an iSCSI SAN booted volume.

Are you searching for a more modern approach to deploying and managing your Amazon EC2 fleet? While the traditional EC2 boot process is dependable, it relies on local EBS storage. In this guide, I’ll show you how to leverage Pure Cloud Block Store to overcome this limitation by using an iPXE-based AMI. This method enables you to bootstrap EC2 instances over iSCSI, allowing for fully stateless deployments.
