For those of us who might want to donate cloud computing time but have weak/memory-limited laptops, is there an EC2 image that we could fire up for the cause?

- veeti 14y agoThe OVA image is a standard format. I'd imagine EC2 would support importing it.
- btown 14y agoSadly, it doesn't seem to (ERROR: Unknown disk image format: OVA). I wouldn't know the first thing about how to reliably convert the format.
- mintplant 14y agoStackOverflow (well, ServerFault) has a little bit on it: http://serverfault.com/questions/387049/how-to-run-an-ova-ovf-appliance-inside-of-aws-ec2 http://serverfault.com/questions/387049/how-to-run-an-ova-ov... Rather inconclusive, though.
- ersii 14y agoThere actually is an EC2 AMI available. I won't mention it here though. I'd rather like that you join us up on #preposterus on EFnet over ol' school IRC. I'm using caution because we don't want to sink Posterous, since it's a very fragile beast, which we're blowing away the caches off of. We're working on getting a FAQ section up on the project page.
