Hi list,
I've noticed that instance-backed AMIs are not available in AWS MP (only the EBS ones are there). Still though, also the instance-backed AMIs are listed as published and available on your wiki:
http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS
I've seen that the same question was asked already before but I'm not sure the answer given actually covered the whole question:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2013-January/003136.html
I take from the discussion that the AWS MP publishing process is out of your control because it's handled by AWS people and may therefore also introduce some delay.
But the initial question was more than a month ago and instance-backed AMIs are still not available in AWS MP - so did something go wrong here that caused the instance-backed AMIs to not get published?
And if not through MarketPlace, is there some alternative way to obtain your instance-backed AMIs? We highly appreciate your cloud efforts and would really like to use your AMIs...
Thanks, Michael

we should have this covered in the next few days, we are going to refresh all images, add in CentOS-5 ones, and make sure raw as well as instance backed images are available in every zone.
the raw files will be distributed from cloud.centos.org/
Regards and thanks!

Is there anyway to run a Windows machine as a virtual machine and have direct-X display on the host console in full screen mode? If anyone has this working can you tell me what hardware, drivers, etc you are using? Thank you.

There's a driver other than the default video driver (Cirrus? I think) that is supposed to be quicker for Windows (I can't seem to find the materials I read months ago). In testing I found that this driver wouldn't support higher resolutions, so I abandoned it. I don't run Windows VMs in production, so I've not experimented much with it in KVM.
What I'm reading is that Direct-X support is iffy. [0] [1]

Maybe someone will speak up who has worked with Windows on KVM quite a bit more than I have.

The reason I asked is that I run an ISP, it would be spiffy to have one machine that I can bring up multiple OS's fully functional to troubleshoot various issues customers have. Already have virtual machines for infrastructure but they are all Linux (CentOS or Scientific Linux).

This is pretty much the reason I dabbled with Windows on KVM -- for our tech support guys.
If I find any definitive information I'll share it. I hope one of us finds a solution!
