I noticed that there weren't any public openSUSE 11.3 AMIs, so I made some:

Pardon my ignorance, but what are "AMI" and "EBS" versions ?

Apologies for not explaining the technical jargon beforehand.

AMI = Amazon Machine Image
EBS = Amazon Elastic Block Store

Refer to http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ ;-)

Thanks Satoru :-)

I don't know where is proper/best place to discuss this, so figured I would start here.

Other distros (eg. Ubuntu) have a lot of technical information and marketing in this space, so we have quite a bit to catch up:
https://10.cloud.ubuntu.com/
http://cloud.ubuntu.com/
http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide
http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.10/release/

General market share of publicly available AMIs: http://thecloudmarket.com/stats

I propose adding public openSUSE AMI information on the following page:
http://www.opensuse.org/en/
http://software.opensuse.org/113/en

Thoughts, comments?

Cheers,
