I ask, because I assume you all have solved this problem:
I have been building my own AMI for use at AWS because reasons. However, in order to make my images acceptable, I end up having to install the linux-image-3.16.0-.. image from Debian 8 (I think?). Any other kernel I use produces a rejection from amazon's image-import. This document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmie_prereqs.html#vmimport-operating-systems Clearly indicates that they do not support any version of debian greater than 8.0, and they seem to mean it. As I mentioned, I've worked around this by uploading with an old kernel as the default, and then upgrading after. Clearly the official Debian EC2 AMI is running the latest debian kernel. I'm curious how that AMI gets uploaded, and if I'm missing a trick. Any tips? -davidc -- VistaShare | www.vistashare.com 866-828-4782, ext. 816 Outcome Tracker: Helping you guide clients to better outcomes
