Jeff, I can't speak for Oracle, but I know that it's not (easily?) possible to build/create your own EBS-backed AMIs...I attempted getting this working a couple months ago but only came up with dead ends. One of my emails with a Sun engineer suggested there are changes needed to be applied to the ramdisk image used, but these can't be changed by customers.

Without this offering it is not possible to use snapshotting for "quick builds" after deployments/changes. To use the auto-scaling capabilities of the EC2 it is easier to have a EBS-Backed AMI to remove the associated work of having to build a S3 AMI after every deployment/change. I have tried several attemtps to build my own AMI but always get stuck at one point or the other.
