HVM for EBS Jessie seems to be working fine - but patches welcome for S3 backed. It looks like current versions of Eycalyptus has not been producing manifest files that are acceptable to AWS's Bunndle Image command (https://eucalyptus.atlassian.net/browse/TOOLS-29) but this looks like it is fixed now as of 23 January 2015! This means its too late to make that as a stable package in Jessie, thus bootstrap-vz will need to download and install euca2ools. What we do need to do is merge the code base between my branch and Anders'. I had a look but couldnt work through the set of conflicts - patches welcome - my branch is https://github.com/JamesBromberger/bootstrap-vz James -- /Mobile:/ +61 422 166 708, /Email:/ james_AT_rcpt.to
