[opensuse-project] Amazon AWS pre-configured openSUSE images?
by Greg Freemyer 19 May '13

19 May '13

All, I've been looking into AWS the last day or so. I found a huge number of preconfigured VM images to choose from: https://aws.amazon.com/amis/ But nothing with openSUSE 12.1/12.2/12.3. https://aws.amazon.com/search?searchQuery=opensuse&searchPath=amis&x=-894&y… Either I'm missing something, or that is something that could easily be maintained in susestudio and uploaded to AWS shortly after each release. Can any provide insight into why that isn't already happening? Greg --… [View More]
