+
+ An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a special type of virtual
+ appliance that is used to create a virtual machine within the
+ Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ("EC2"). It serves as the basic
+ unit of deployment for services delivered using EC2. Such AMIs
+ are available for 8.3-RELEASE and later &os; releases,
+ and every ALPHA, BETA, and RC of &os; 10.0. Starting from
+ &os; 10.0-BETA1, &os;/EC2 images are running
+ "fully supported" &os; binaries, and starting from
+ &os; 10.0-RC1, &os;/EC2 images include a
+ "configinit" system for autoconfiguration using EC2
+ user-data.
+
+ Due to limitations of old (m1, m2,
+ c1, t1) instance types,
+ "Windows"-labelled images are required for those
+ instance types; however all of the recent instances types
+ — m3 (general purpose), c3 (high-CPU),
+ and i2 (high-I/O) — support &os; at the
+ "unix" pricing rates.
+
+ The maintainer of this platform considers it to be ready for
+ production use.
+
+
+
+ Hand over the task of building &os; AMIs to the Release
+ Engineering Team.
+
+ Get Amazon to add "&os;" to the list of platforms
+ supported by EC2, so that it can stop showing up as "Other
+ Linux".
