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 a clear business case on supporting the creation of amazon AMI images,you probably just have to wait a while till this feature is implemented in KIWI, keep in mind that developers have a lot of work to do, patience is a virtue.
An illustration of the 'externalities' such an AMI can generate for the wider openSUSE community.... In the thread pointed to below Eric Hammond shows how firing up a Ubuntu desktop AMI allowed him to set up a bittorrent feed for the Ubuntu 8.04 (Herron) download rush... '70 peers and averages 25Mbps outbound (60Mbps peak)"... "it costs $0.12 per complete Hardy desktop ISO downloaded" :)
