Re: amazon ec2 and centos?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



We're currently running almost 20 instances with aws.  We're using CentOS 5.4/5.5 as the base, and the 2.6.18 kernel image provided by amazon in the form of their 2.6.18-ec2-v1.4(may have that form wrong).  This works well, but its also from December 2009 so we're 6 months off where Cent is now.

Be more than willing to help QA/Test out kernels if there's some way we can get them submitted into Amazon's kernel store.  Anything we can do to help, feel free to contact off list.  Would love to see a much quicker turnaround on these, and might help get us to Amazon supporting CentOS 6 quicker down the road if we get the process in place with them now with 5.5. 

Cent works very well other that this kernel process.

Cheers

Yes, I would like to have an official CentOS AMI as well and have looked
into creating something like this previously. The Amazon guys have been
fairly interested - but dont seem to be wanting to push things beyond
the 'interested' stages. They are really geared up to working with
companies and organisations putting forward development costs etc,
rather than a general community.

Pretty much. There are still some inroads and I've spoken with the guys
at amazon as recently as a month back; but that conversation isn't going
anywhere beyond the interest factor.

Ideally, what I would like to do is get together some people who have an
interest in this; not associated with any $commercial provider, and see
if we can get some level of QA testing done. I dont really want anything
'official' unless we can be sure that the user experience and
expectations dont change drastically from a stock CentOS install.
