[Thincrust-devel] Versioning of Fedora appliances on EC2

[Cameron Ross]

Hi Bryan,

I built the AMI following steps 1 through 7 outlined here:
http://thincrust.net/tooling-ec2.html.  I then uploaded the bundled image
files (all parts and the manifest) to S3 using the S3 Organizer plugin for
Firefox (I do this because I'm finding the AWS service to be very slow and
the ec2-upload-bundle command was timing out too often.  The Firefox plugin
allows me to upload the files one by one which seems to be a little less
painful right now). I then register the AMI using the AWS Management
Console.  I Launch a single instance of this AMI using the web console
specifying the aki-a71cf9ce kernel as an advanced option.

I've been trying to get a custom image (any custom image) created using the
thincrust tools to run on EC2, but no joy.

Cheers,
Cameron.
