- Here is Amazon's description of how to rebundle: 
http://ec2gsg-creating.notlong.com
- Here is an article I wrote on the topic: 
http://alestic.com/2009/06/ec2-ami-bundle
- For security reasons, I would not model putting the certificate and private 
key into the rebundled image as described above.  Users will blindly copy this 
and not understand the ramifications.
- With the commands above, the secret access key is stored in .bash_history on 
the rebundled image which can also be a security issue.
- You can now use the openjdk-6 packages now instead of Sun's Java, but...
- I wouldn't include Java or the API tools on the image because it adds a lot 
to the image size and instance startup time.
- You can ec2-register from a different computer or call the API directly from 
a lighter program like Tim Kay's "aws" script.
- Yes, the AMI tools should be included in Canonical's EC2 images if they 
aren't.
- Yes, the kernel modules should be included in Canonical's EC2 images if they 
aren't.
- Yes, the ec2-api-tools and ec2-ami-tools packages need to be kept up to date 
more than they have been in the Ubuntu archives for all Ubuntu releases.
- How do you move a discussion away from a launchpad bug to which it does not 
relate?
