So I tried running one of the public ubuntu karmic images in
ec2 (ami-bb709dd2). I could sudo apt-get install lxc. The
default kernel (aki-5f15f636) didn't support namespaces. Now
you can specify kernels at boot, but I'm not sure if there is
an easy way to find kernels with specific CONFIG_ options.
I'll let you know if I find one with all namespaces and
veth+bridge+macvlan enabled, bc that would then give you
everything you'd need.
