Hello Debian-Cloud,

Here are the Debian Jessie 8.0 base AMIs for AWS EC2 in all current regions:

|| '''Region'''  || '''hvm x86_64 ebs''' || '''paravirtual x86_64 ebs''' ||
|| ap-northeast-1 || ami-ce5594ce || ami-56549556 ||
|| ap-southeast-1 || ami-fa4c70a8 || ami-8c4c70de ||
|| ap-southeast-2 || ami-c71d61fd || ami-2f1e6215 ||
|| eu-central-1 || ami-02724d1f || ami-28724d35 ||
|| eu-west-1 || ami-99f39eee || ami-8bf29ffc ||
|| sa-east-1 || ami-b7f97daa || ami-dbf97dc6 ||
|| us-east-1 || ami-144f4d7c || ami-ac4c4ec4 ||
|| us-west-1 || ami-0343ae47 || ami-db43ae9f ||
|| us-west-2 || ami-0d5b6c3d || ami-a7596e97 ||

Please check the signature on this email to determine its authenticity
and integrity to confirm the AMI IDs you may wish to launch. This
information is also available here:

What about AWS Marketplace AMIs
-------------------------------
Updates are shortly to be submitted to the AWS Marketplace team and will
be available after they have duplicated. The Debian entry in Marketplace
is here:
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=890be55d-32d8-4bc8-9042-2b4fd83064d5.
As at this time, there are over 12,000 AWS Customer accounts
"subscribed" to the Debian images via AWS Marketplace.



Difference between the Marketplace AMIs and the Community AMIs
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Marketplace AMIs are exact copies of those I generate in US-East-1.
They have separate AMI IDs as they are copied into the AWS Marketplace
account. One note is that AWS Marketplace AMIs cannot have their root
volume "detatched" for recovery.



What's New
----------
32-bit images are no longer provided as the underlying 32bit
environments are being deprecated by AWS. Please investigate multiarch
for running 32-bit binaries in 64-bit hosts.

HVM images are now the preferred; PVM images are now deprecated by AWS;
however, we have produced a 64-bit PVM image to support customers
transitioning or currently holding long-term Reserved Instances.

Enhanced Networking, also known as SR-IOV, is now enabled in all HVM
images.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking.html

Support for multiple Elastic Network Interfaces; just add via the EC2
API or Console, and these should be configured appropriately with no
additional configuration.

Support for sub-interfaces; just add additional IP addresses via the EC2
API or Console, and these should be configured appropriately with no
additional configuration.

AWS Cli is installed by default. Jessie has AWS Cli version 1.4.2
(package: awscli).

In the base image, but not enabled by default, is apt-transport-https.
With some minor configuration, you can change a base AMI to use
https://cloudfront.debian.net instead of the default unencrypted
http://cloudfront.debian.net for your apt sources.list. If you're
locking down your egress traffic (perhaps via a Security Group), then
you may feel more comfortable enabling outbound port 443 instead of
outbound 80.

S3 backed AMIs; these are not currently produced for Jessie, but we'll
look to do this over the coming months.



Thanks
----------
Massive thanks goes to Anders Ingemann, Thomas "Zigo" Giorand, Thomaz
Rybak, Marcin Kulisz, Charles Plessy, and everyone who helped the
bootzstrap-vz project, packaging cloud-init, packaging awscli and
python-boto, and testing AMIs. Also, thanks to AWS for paying for
http://cloudfront.debian.net/ (also with SSL at
https://cloudfront.debian.net/) which is in use now. For those looking
for updated ISO images, check out
