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?
