Good evening, all. I just tried spinning up a CentOS instance in EC2 using ami-de5bd2ee from the AWS marketplace. I put a dummy script into the user-data field when launching the instance from the EC2 console but found it didn't work, even though the SSH key for the root user did. I pinged Karanbir on ##aws and he suggested I post here to get the conversation started.
I'm currently looking into what it takes to roll my own AMI; I've already invested a fair bit of work into creating packages and Puppet config based on a CentOS 6.3 system (mainly with Vagrant), and my initial test with Amazon's Linux AMI wasn't promising. I think execution of the user-data script is a must-have, as it's the only way to automate the creation of a new instance without external tools.
Thanks, Brian

Getting ready to roll out another set of updated AWS images. So this is a good time to have the conversation about cloud-init
Firstly, what is the best version to go with ? I know there is a maintained cloud-init in EPEL but that seems to be 0.6.x based, whereas lots of people seem to be focusing on 0.7.x as the best rpm based distro supported option.
thoughts ?

Hi,
I hope you don't mind my intrusion into this thread. My name is Bruce Mathews. I work for Hewlett Packard in their Cloud Services organization. I recently joined this mailing list and was wondering, based on what you are trying to accomplish, if you had ever considered attempting the same operation in our Cloud. You can look here for further information:
If you have interest in trying out our cloud for your purposes, please feel free to contact me.
The Very Best!

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for pitching in..
the overall plan here is to make official, tested-by-centos, images available in as many cloud services as possible. AWS is done, BrightBox is close.
We were in touch with the hpcloud guys in the late summer last year and were told that it wasent possible for users to bring their own images as yet ( which is fine ). However, as a project they were willing to accept images that we posted, however the process of doing so involved pain including installing commercial software, jumping quite a few hoops and signaling over email. Has that process changed ? We would love to push CentOS official builds in sync with the rest of the distro there as well.
Juerg Haefliger and Phillip Pao were the people I was in touch with at the time.
Regards

We also currently have in place a methodology for import of custom images that will be broadened in the next release scheduled for the March/April timeframe, making this task much easier. I am copying my manager, Glenn Ferguson, who can provide greater detail into some of these new developments! I am sure e would love to pursue alignment with your current and specialized CentOS images!
The Very Best!
