But...when you do it you get to a dialog where you can choose the

googled some of the aki's , but found nothing.
we should use an hd0 ( and not hd00 ) aki, correct?
Right. Use the pv-grub AKI for an unpartitioned image (the hd0 ones). See
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/UserProvidedkernels.html#AmazonKernelImageIDs
for more.
This will then use /boot/grub/menu.lst (which symlinks to
/boot/grub/grub.conf; implementation detail) to boot a kernel on the image.
(Grub isn't actually used on the images, just the config file. Also you may
notice that the images contain extlinux; that's because they're identical to
the downloadable qcow2 images meant to boot in openstack or other cloud
providers without pv-grub).
But now I have an F19 instance running. Will I need to do some magic
to upgrade the kernel, or is yum upgrade sufficient?
Yum upgrade and reboot. We've endeavored to make the existing kernel magic
just work. Of course, there's a tiny chance that something will go horribly
wrong -- if it does, please report. (As a matter of course, make sure you're
not storing anything irreplaceable on a cloud instance anyway.)
Thanks for the quick response.
Is there any easy way to figure out what are aki kernels?
For instance, here are the kernels listed for ec2 region us-east-1:
us-east-1
aki-88aa75e1 pv-grub-hd0_1.03-x86_64.gz
aki-b6aa75df pv-grub-hd0_1.03-i386.gz
aki-b4aa75dd pv-grub-hd00_1.03-x86_64.gz
aki-b2aa75db pv-grub-hd00_1.03-i386.gz
How do you find out how these map to fedora kernels?
I guess as long as yum upgrade works, I really shouldn't care.
Again, thanks for making all this remarkably painless.
