Google's image format is publicly documented, quite standard (raw disk image inside a tarball), and can be built just fine on casulana or anywhere else. Google does their builds inside GCE merely as a convenient way for them to manage transient build VMs, not out of technical necessity. I have no idea about the equivalent AMI answer. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [email protected]
