I'd like to download the official CentOS AMI files for 6.3 x86_64, but that does not seem possible. The goal is to use the same image on both public and private clouds, to improve consistency. Are the AMI files available for download anywhere, or from anyone?

Not at this moment, its a resource issue more than anything else. Tru and I were discussing doing a refresh in the next few days and I will make sure the raw images are published to cloud.centos.org

Please note that these images contain a rc script to get the user metadata into place, and so might not be of much use outside AWS or Eucalyptus which expose that metadata service. The CentOS-5 images will be even more restricted, in that they will have the kernel-xen setup to boot as default ( for AWS ).

Any help to build generic images would be appreciated!

I offer my apologies if the CentOS-virt list is not the correct contact for this query.

This is absolutely the best place for the question, I apologies for me rather delayed response.

For the sake of completeness, its worth noting that lots of irc chatter that EL-6.4 will contain cloud-init, I hope its 0.7.x based, which would solve a lot of issues. Failing that, perhaps we should look at bringing in cloud-init ourselves ( or a better alternative )
