It is possible to update an EBS instance. If you're running a previous ami , say us-east-1 ami-2d4aa444 ubuntu-lucid-10.04-i386-server-20100427.1 and you want to get to us-east-1 ami-1437dd7d ubuntu-lucid-10.04-i386-server-20100827 This will essentially be the same as 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'. The one thing that is different is that you have to change the kernel that you're running. That can only be done on EBS root instances, and how to do it is documented at: http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-lts-lucid-lynx-available-in.html Scott -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud
