Hello all,

The latest image (with root resize on boot) is now available in Ap-Southeast-2 
(Sydney), thanks to Anders adding the AKI for PV-GRUB in SYD into 
ec2debian-build-ami:
ami-af841395<https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=ap-southeast-2>: 
379101102735/debian-squeeze-i386-20121112
ami-b584138f<https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=ap-southeast-2>: 
379101102735/debian-squeeze-amd64-20121112

These public and available to all.

I have also prepared a CloudFormation template to help with using these images 
which I'll push out when we're "AMI stable" (reach out to me if you want to 
test this with the 'current' AMIs, htorugh they will be short lived until we 
call the AMIs 'stable').


With the update to use ecua2ools, I suspect we're almost ready to roll; just 
the last issues I see are:


*         Use of http.debian.net versus hard-coded local mirror selected at 
image creation time - pending approval from Raphael.

*         Removing the ephemeral mount points - leaving this for the user to 
create?


I've spoken with the AWS Marketplace team today; they are keen for us to 
publish soon; I'm looking to complete the listing documentation (With my DD hat 
on) at the end of this week, so it would be great to complete these two points 
above before then (and regenerate).

Going forward, we need to repeatedly produce stable images for each point 
release. As always, any DD who wants access to this account for this purpose 
please reach out to me and I will add an account.

I'd also like to all out again for any assistance for Charles for help on 
cloud-init. To me this is the biggest thing we are missing (see 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit).
