Eric Hammond, who maintains since a long time some high profile Ubuntu AMIs, has written sound recommendations about the production of such images for the Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud: http://alestic.com/2011/06/ec2-ami-security http://groups.google.com/group/ec2debian/msg/8f12b422f881dbaa Some unofficial Debian AMIs are already being produced, see http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image To enable secure SSH login, booting after kernel update, and other tasks, some init, grub, and perhaps other scripts are needed, and if they were wrapped in a Debian package, then the production AMIs could be fully automated from whithin the Debian operating system. I am still a beginner in the field, but if help is needed, I volunteer to co-maintain such a package. -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
