Ian McLeod has a system for firing up an EC2 instance and running anaconda
in that. See:


https://github.com/imcleod/anaconda-ec2.

I think this is probably the best approach for your use case. The
alternative is to use appliance-creator, which is what we're currently
using for the cloud images, but it's increasingly painful. Dennis Gilmore
from Release Engineering has been patching it (and putting out new releases;
there is no other active upstream) so it's still functional, but it's
inherently a temperamental and fragile approach. A real-anaconda based
solution is better, whether Oz, livemedia-creator, or this.
