Hello
Looking to build CentOS based micro EC2 instance bootable from Amazon EBS. Want that the image be minimal, so that I can add only the rpms I want.
Despite looking could not find a way to import a CentOS image from scratch or an existing minimal CentOS image that is bootable from EBS. My server must must persist, as I cannot handle issues with a dynamic server, so I want to use a server that can boot from EBS.
good luck with the persistence part in a cloud. the whole idea of clouds is to distribute your services and separate them from the physical instances. EC2 is *not* a replacement for a conventional static server.
EC2 nowadays *does* have support for static/persistent boot volumes.
