PS I had flagged this as a feature request on Novell's bugzilla. The last post indicated the Novell devs could not explore any AMI's because it involved paying.... not sure if anything has progressed from that state.
If there is progress, you will see it in the buzgilla report, As I can see
In case anyone wants to follow the status: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=367138
a clear business case on supporting the creation of amazon AMI images,you
I thought so too, but it might not be the case that Novell has this as part of their strategy (for good reasons)..... - curently the enhancement request is still classified P5. I was hoping it might have got bumped up to reflect a higher priority. P5 seems as low as you can go without rejecting/closing the request? (I've struggled to find out exactly what P5 means to Novell/openSUSE) - It would be useful i anyone could indicate: - Working on it. - Thinking about working on it - Decided to leave to individual/community efforts. But perhaps P5 says it all and I've just got to track down exactly what P5 means: On Mozilla it apparently means "We basically never want this. If somebody implements it and asks for review, we might look at it." Which would be sad, but at least be good to know.
probably just have to wait a while till this feature is implemented in KIWI,
Honestly it is not yet clear that even that is intended or possible. I agree they have indicated KIWI is the place it would happen, if anything did. Maybe Mozilla's P5 description has me spooked.
keep in mind that developers have a lot of work to do, patience is a virtue.
I agree. Which means it would seem to make sense to launch/facilitate something like: http://code.google.com/p/ec2ubuntu/ (see also http://www.alestic.com/) or http://code.google.com/p/scalr/ I don't have a problem waiting. As long as I know I'm waiting for something happening behind closed doors. At the moment it appears someone could be waiting for nothing happening behind closed doors. As a general observation it does look like Novell missed this train, and it's not clear there is an effort to get on board at some point down the line. My reason for believing this is I don't see anything like Redhat's MRG effort, which fits quite naturally in the ec2/cloud-space. IMO MRG type technologies would be essential for certain, if not most, ec2/cloud activities. The main reason I'm concerned with this that I've been toying with upgrading to openSUSE 11, but if opensuse is going to be leaving cloud computing efforts to others then it is best I jump ship sooner and not later. I'd appreciate hearing anyone's insights. Cheers Mark
