I would love to have more documentation written on our EC2/UEC images. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cloud-server-n-cloud-images That blueprint has 'landing' items that are intended to produce a "landing page" for our UEC images. such a thing woudl have information about them, what you can do with them, and how to use them "right now". -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud
