Let's hope they support Linux exports soon then. This solves another problem as well, which is easily moving images around availability zones.

- ben1040 14y agoImports, too - they launched an import tool about a year and a half ago, but it too only supports Windows.
- jeffbarr 14y agoWe plan to support additional operating systems in the future, along with more virtualization formats.
- cperciva 14y agomoving images around availability zones Presumably you mean regions here? Within any one region, you can use an AMI in any of the availability zones.
- aychedee 14y agoWhoops, yes of course. That's what I meant. Moving images between regions is currently a pain.
- cperciva 14y agoAgreed. Every time I publish a new FreeBSD AMI I spin up 7 instances and run a bunch of "dd | ssh | dd" to send the bits out to the right places. At this point I have the entire process scripted, and it's still painful.
- skillachie 14y agoI was excited until I found out that its currently only Windows is supported :(
