Yes, I would like to have an official CentOS AMI as well and have looked into creating something like this previously. The Amazon guys have been fairly interested - but dont seem to be wanting to push things beyond the 'interested' stages. They are really geared up to working with companies and organisations putting forward development costs etc, rather than a general community. > Karanbir, you seem to have been the one on CentOS side who has had > the most conversations with Amazon. Is that conversation dead? Pretty much. There are still some inroads and I've spoken with the guys at amazon as recently as a month back; but that conversation isn't going anywhere beyond the interest factor. Ideally, what I would like to do is get together some people who have an interest in this; not associated with any $commercial provider, and see if we can get some level of QA testing done. I dont really want anything 'official' unless we can be sure that the user experience and expectations dont change drastically from a stock CentOS install. - KB
