Yes, the cloud base AMIs correspond to the original release of Fedora 25 that was done in November. The atomic images are the ones that get released every two weeks. We don't officially "release" the cloud base images every two weeks. We'd like to, but we are spread a bit thin and some other things take higher priority. > > Do new AMI's get published on a particular cadence?

The cloud base images get built as part of this process but we don't ever intend to use them (at this time). The images you are finding are from that process. > > Are all images published by the Fedora account suitable/recommended for use? We don't officially "release" the newer cloud base images. Again, we would like to and most of the process is in place. Just need to build better testing out. > > I'm assuming that the newest AMI's would have all updates and patches up to date as of the publish date, is this correct? They are built from whatever is in the updates repo I believe. > > What is the retention policy on AMI's? Can we count on a particular AMI (eg; ami-d27bc3b2 ) being available and not disappearing for a specific amount of time? You can count on the released fedora cloud AMIs being around until EOL. The ones that aren't released (the ones we have been talking about) could get cleaned up. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list -- cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to cloud-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
