I think you mean to ask about how the "Ubuntu" AMIs are built. The Ubuntu AMIs I published under the Alestic name are mostly old and not strongly recommended any more.
We now have official Ubuntu AMIs published by Canonical, which are strongly recommended for use on EC2. I make this clarification because the two sets of AMIs were built with different tools and you probably want the answer for the modern approach. I do list the new Ubuntu AMI ids at the top of http://Alestic.com for convenient lookup, and I try to make it clear who the publisher is for each one. -- Eric Hammond "Spike Spiegel" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi, > >I sort of alluded to this question in a recent post, but thought I'd >state it in more clear terms.
