Sorry for not replying to this earlier, I just saw this thread because of the newsletter. We have had CentOS Images running in the cloud since 09/06/2007,
When I got in touch with amazon a long long time back, the aim was to plumb in something into the centos buildsystems, so that we are able to churn out an 'official' CentOS image at the same time as we do a release for isos etc. They were quite keen initially, but something happened - might be related to Martin Buhr moving, and they lost most interest.
I would *really* like to get that project back on track. If not then we can go the route of just having images that others can use, perhaps not from something that amazon provide themselves.

Its always good to know that the work is appreciated! Btw, I've heard good things about what you guys are doing at rightscale as well.
