Re: Urgent: Clound images for Stretch announcement
Hi, The current paragraph for Google Compute Engine paragraph mainly points to the wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/GoogleComputeEngineImage If this source is mainly used to point readers of the blog post to some information, I think that some content should be added/edited for people who would be new to this platform. For example, there are several commands using the gcloud tool. I understand that `gcloud` is a tool which is available when you install the Google Cloud SDK (I first tried to see if there was a Debian package providing it). Another example is the paragraph about working with future images. Now that Debian stretch images are available, the "(like Debian Stretch atm)" may possibly be removed? Can someone familiar with these GCE images do these small edits? Thanks! Cédric

Sounds good to me. I will have images built for AWS pretty much as soon as "stable" points to stretch on the mirrors. The details will be documented at https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Stretch as with the previously released "beta" stretch images. > >From the Debian Cloud Sprint [1] and the wiki page [2] looks like the > idea of "official images" is still work in progress.

Fair enough. User experience should be about the same either way. Details to be worked out are pretty much entirely internal, in terms of various image generation workflows and where they run. > I have created a pad https://pad.riseup.net/p/stretchcloudimages with > some questions.

I believe most of the details you're looking for are covered on the https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Stretch, except for support and documentation details. In general support is via debian-cloud@lists.d.o, #debian-cloud, or the cloud.debian.org bts pseudopackage. Documentation is wiki.debian.org, though there's not a lot to speak of.

For Azure we should be able to publish a release image on sunday. It
can be used if you have the internal reference
("credativ:Debian:9:latest"). It should show up in the marketplace and
all the end-user accessed web interfaces on tuesday, as there is a
manual process involved.

What do you want to add? Availability? Access information?

Urgent: Clound images for Stretch announcement
Hi, In the current Debian Stretch announcement (still open for editing), we mention only the OpenStack images. I was wondering about the availability of other official images: GCE, AWS, Azure? Please, see the current announcement at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/publicity/announcements.git/tree/en/drafts/stretch-release.wml line 161. I would like to add the other images and move it all to their own paragrpah. Ana
