This is fix-released in maverick and later (bug 615545). The only supported release that it would be present on would be 10.04.
You reported this using ubuntu-bug on a 11.04 instance. Are you actually stating that you saw this bug with that ami? Eric's suggestion does seem reasonable. The only change is that Canonical would have to either: a.) make the mirrors available from outside a region b.) manually track announcements like https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=1097 and update security groups. ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Also affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824947 Title: EC2 apt repository DNS resolution on VPC instances To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/824947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
