Thanks Karanbir!
Just one comment about the raindrops project; having it as a closed source project that's separate from the official CentOS project, and has no recognizable organization behind, makes it hard to use in any sizable company. Inevitably there would be questions about security and verification of what is in the build, risk of being dependent on a project that may or may not be around in a few years. If it were open source, or perhaps under the CentOS
brand, that would make it easier to use. Just an fyi...

No, there are a couple of issues with the way we do the AWS Market Place
setup that make this inconvenient. But hang in there, I'm working on an
alternative!

cloud.centos.org will be the right place, that is exactly the target
that I am working to develop.

You should be able to use that service as is ( the aim of
projectraindrops is not to deliver open source software, but to deliver
and maintain a service that just-works and has a reasonable feature spec ).
The CentOS images are not built with it, the CentOS images are build in
a replica install that runs inside the centos buildservices.
