hi,
I'd like to ask everyone for comments on and around working with vendor Ecosystems. We already have relationships in place ( some as old as 4 - 5 years ) where we have worked with vendors to get CentOS images into their service plans; but going forward we should consider what the overall goal here is going to be.
Some vendors are easier than others to work with, but is this something we should persue as a part of the CentOS Instance SIG ? I am quite keen to build on the existing relationships with people like AWS, GCE, HPCloud, BrightBox etc and even expand the scope of the vendor involvement in the SIG, but where is everyone else's thought process on this ?

What's different about each of these in terms of your involvement and the images themselves? I'd think there would be some value in trying to standardize things as much as possible.

Listing an image on amazon's market place does not make it available on HPCloud - so exactly what are you saying we need to standardize on here ?

I mean, what is your involvement in getting a CentOS image to be available or helping decide the appropriate packages? Do you do something to help build the images or is this more of a marketing effort to help the vendor see the value of doing it themselves?
