AMI is preferred on Amazon. Don't think it's a supported format for CloudStack, not sure about OpenStack. I don't think you can directly import qcow2 to EC2. Also: we're already producing these images. I'm guessing we didn't do so randomly. > Any examples what should be different in terms of packages?

(ec2-utils) Not sure whether we can ship that package or not, I don't see it currently. -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst [email protected] | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/ _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
