When 5.9 was still -current, https://github.com/ajacoutot/aws-openbsd https://github.com/ajacoutot/aws-openbsd was a viable if clunky way of producing one's own AMIs. As you can see from the script, there's quite a bit of work that happens before a -current snapshot could be turned into a valid AMI.
I think this will become really useful when attached EBS volumes are properly detected by an OpenBSD system running in EC2. Right now EBS attachments are silently ignored. (Someone please correct me!)
- devslashnull 11y agoAs far as I'm aware there isnt any blkfront support in the recent changes, which would be needed for EBS. Support for blkfront is not needed to get up and running with Xen though, so it makes sense to defer it until later and get the bootstrap going and then the devs can focus on the remaining pieces.
